Modes of Inheritance

Essential Question

How are biological traits inherited? 

We inherit our traits from our parents.  Every single chromosome that we have in our body came from our mom and our dad.  But how????  In the beginning of our unit we discussed how to track traits, but now lets look at home we inherit them.  Thanks to the work of many geneticists before us, we have a good idea of how alleles are passed through generations.
I CAN STATEMENTS
  1. I CAN ANALYZE A PEDIGREE
  2. I CAN IDENTIFY THE INHERITANCE PATTERN IN A PEDIGREE
  3. I CAN DEVELOP A PUNNETT SQUARE
Amoeba sisters video on Meiosis:  Review of how our sex cells are made - sperm and egg.  Provides good information to help with vocabulary.  Very good explanation of crossing over and how homologous chromosomes work.  Remember the process produces VARIATION!!!!
Notes on basics of genetics.  This helps focus on vocabulary as well - review if you need to.
