Mendelian Genetics
Sesame Street GeneticsThis culminating lesson about genetics is not only fun, but it was developed by our very own Mrs. Strauss! Thanks for letting us share in your awesomeness, Mrs. Strauss! Today's Task:
1) Use the provided website links to record the genotypes and phenotypes of seven traits for 16 Sesame Street characters.
2) Select one female and one male Sesame Street character to breed and fill out their genotypes/phenotypes in the appropriate chart.
Tomorrow's Task:
1) Set up Punnett squares using your female and male Sesame Street characters' genotypes.
2) Use the virtual coin flipper (see link below) to select the inherited genotypes for your offspring. (Circle the outcome.)
3) Then, use these traits to draw a new Sesame offspring!
