UNIT 8: MENDELIAN GENETICS
IN THIS UNIT WE WILL LEARN HOW GENES ARE PASSED FROM ONE GENERATION TO ANOTHER. STUDENTS WILL LEARN HOW TO DO PUNNETT SQUARES WHERE ONE TRAIT IS PASSED DOWN, AS WELL AS DIHYBRID SQUARES, WHERE TWO TRAITS ARE PASSED DOWN FROM PARENT TO OFFSPRING. MAKE SURE YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND THE VOCABULARY IN THIS UNIT; MISUNDERSTANDING TERMS IS THE FASTEST WAY TO CAUSE UNNECESSARY CONFUSION.

Bio.3.2 Understand how the environment, and/or the interaction of alleles, influences the expression of genetic traits.
Bio.3.2 Understand how the environment, and/or the interaction of alleles, influences the expression of genetic traits.
Bio.3.2.2 Predict offspring ratios based on a variety of inheritance patterns (including dominance, co-dominance, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles, and sex-linked traits).
Bio.3.2.2 Predict offspring ratios based on a variety of inheritance patterns (including dominance, co-dominance, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles, and sex-linked traits).
• Interpret Punnett squares (monohybrid only) to determine genotypic and phenotypic ratios. Understand that dominant alleles mask recessive alleles.
• Interpret Punnett squares (monohybrid only) to determine genotypic and phenotypic ratios. Understand that dominant alleles mask recessive alleles.
• Determine parental genotypes based on offspring ratios.
• Determine parental genotypes based on offspring ratios.
• Interpret karyotypes (gender, and chromosomal abnormalities).
• Interpret karyotypes (gender, and chromosomal abnormalities).
• Recognize a variety of intermediate patterns of inheritance (codominance and incomplete dominance).
• Recognize a variety of intermediate patterns of inheritance (codominance and incomplete dominance).
• Recognize that some traits are controlled by more than one pair of genes and that this pattern of inheritance is identified by the presence of a wide range of phenotypes (skin, hair, and eye color).
• Recognize that some traits are controlled by more than one pair of genes and that this pattern of inheritance is identified by the presence of a wide range of phenotypes (skin, hair, and eye color).
• Interpret autosomal inheritance patterns: sickle cell anemia including the relationship to malaria (codominance), cystic fibrosis (recessive heredity), and Huntington’s disease (dominant heredity).
• Interpret autosomal inheritance patterns: sickle cell anemia including the relationship to malaria (codominance), cystic fibrosis (recessive heredity), and Huntington’s disease (dominant heredity).
• Solve and interpret codominant crosses involving multiple alleles including blood typing problems. (Blood Types: A, B, AB and O and Alleles: IA, IB, and i). Students should be able to determine if parentage is possible based on blood types.
• Solve and interpret codominant crosses involving multiple alleles including blood typing problems. (Blood Types: A, B, AB and O and Alleles: IA, IB, and i). Students should be able to determine if parentage is possible based on blood types.
• Understand human sex chromosomes and interpret crosses involving sex-linked traits (color-blindness and hemophilia). Students should understand why males are more likely to express a sex-linked trait
• Understand human sex chromosomes and interpret crosses involving sex-linked traits (color-blindness and hemophilia). Students should understand why males are more likely to express a sex-linked trait
• Interpret phenotype pedigrees to identify the genotypes of individuals and the type of inheritance.
• Interpret phenotype pedigrees to identify the genotypes of individuals and the type of inheritance.
