Unit 4 Introduction to Genetics/Natural selection
B Day 4/8 and A Day 4/9
Objective: Students can set up a punnett square and find the genotype and phenotype ratios of offspring for any parental cross.
Lesson:
Return and go over Meiosis Tests
Mendel Reading
Discuss Mendel’s law of segregation
Set up punnet squares for the following crosses and determine genotypic and phenotypic ratios in offspring: homozygous dominant x homozygous recessive, heterozygous x heterozygous, homozygous dominant x heterozygous, homozygous recessive x heterozygous.
Class activity: Testing punnett square statistics with coin flipping.
Assignment: Monohybrid Punnett Square Worksheet
Objective: Students can set up a punnett square and find the genotype and phenotype ratios of offspring for any parental cross.

B Day 4/10 and A Day 4/11
Due: Monohybrid Punnett Square Worksheet
Objective: Students can set up a punnett square and find the genotype and phenotype ratios of offspring for any parental cross for traits that are codominant or show incomplete dominance
Students have time to review punnett squares and complete a worksheet based on dominant and recessive traits
Students will read p. 204-207 and work on punnett square problems that deal with codominance and incomplete dominance
Assignment: Punnett Square packet

B Day 4/12 and A Day 4/15
Due: Punnett Square Packet
Objective: Students can use vocabulary terms (variation, adaptation, overproduction, fitness, selective pressure) to explain the theory of natural selection
Lesson: Review material from last class
Watch video on pocket mice natural selection
Introduce terms and relate to the pocket mice movie
Discuss antibacterial resistance/importance of natural selection theory to us
Come up with your own natural selection scenario, use the new vocabulary terms to describe what is happening to your pretend population
