Unit 10: Mendelian Genetics 

Learning Focus:

Unit Overview: Mendelian Genetics- Law of Segregation & Law of Independent Assortment; using mathematical models to predict inheritance (monohybrid and dihybrid Punnett Squares); patterns of inheritance- dominance, codominance, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles, sex linkage, polygenic traits; pedigrees. 

Standard(s): SB3b. Use mathematical models to predict and explain patterns of inheritance.

(Clarification statement: Students should be able to use Punnett Squares (monohybrid and dihybrid crosses) and/or use rules of probability to analyze the following inheritance patterns: dominance, codominance, incomplete dominance (Topic 2)). 

Standard(s): SB3b. Use mathematical models to predict and explain patterns of inheritance. Students should be able to use Punnett squares(monohybrid and dihybrid crosses) and /or rules of probability to analyze the following inheritance patterns: dominance, codominance, and incomplete dominance.
