2 # PRE UNIT STATEMENTS POST 1 Offspring inherit 4 sets of instructions for each characteristic. 2 Different versions of the same gene are known as genes. If both the dominant allele and the recessive allele are inherited for a 3 characteristic, only the dominant allele is expressed. 4 A genotype is the physical expression of the phenotype. Probability is the mathematical chance that an event will occur. It is usually 5 expressed as a fraction or as a percentage. Dominant traits are apparent only when two recessive alleles for the 6 characteristic are inherited. 7 A genotype is the combination of alleles for a particular trait 8 The set of instructions transmitted to parent to offspring are called genes. 9 Gregor Mendel used dandelions to study heredity. 10 Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring. 11 A fertilized egg has two forms of the same gene for each trait. When a true-breeding plant self-pollinates, it will always produce offspring 12 with the same trait the parent plant has. 13 The offspring resulting from the parental cross is called the F2 generation. 14 *** MENDELIAN GENETICS *** Instructions: After reading the statements below, choose either A for agree or D for disagree.

5 *** MENDELIAN GENETICS *** Growing up on a farm, what did Mendel have a lot of practice cultivating? Review: Define the term inheritance? Gregor Johann Mendel (July 20, January 6, 1884) was an Austrian monk whose studies of the inheritance of traits in pea plants helped to lay the foundation for the later development of the field of genetics. A. THE FATHER OF MODERN GENETICS Gregor Mendel was born in 1822 in Austria. Growing up on his family s farm he had a lot of practice cultivating and. As a young man he attended the Institute in Olomouc. After completing his studies he began work in a. There he changed his name from Johann to. In 1847, he was ordained as a. Mendel was inspired by both his professors and his colleagues at the monastery that he started his own work. He tried to unravel the mystery of. He also studied the ways. Between 1856 and 1863 Mendel cultivated and some pea plants. B. Mendel s Research Unraveling the Mystery Mendel s attraction to research was based on his love of nature. He was not only interested in plants, but also in and the theory of. Mendel always wanted to find out how plants obtained characteristics. Mendel knew that sometimes the seemed simple and sometimes they did not. For example, sometimes a trait that appeared in first generation did not show up in any of the offspring in the second generation. Interestingly, in the third generation, the trait showed up again. Mendel also noticed similar patterns in people and many other living things. How can this be? Unit: MENDEIAN GENETICS Mr. Taylor, 2013 Revision No.1 1

He had already done studies using the, so he chose this as his subject. Why did Mendel choose to use pea plants for his experiments? Why did Gregor Mendel use pea plants? Garden peas were a good choice for several reasons: Self-pollinating plant: Self-pollinating plants contains both and reproductive structures. Pollen from one flower or plant can of the same flower or eggs of another flower. Pollination: Fertilization: Why are pea plants a good subject to be tested concerning inheritance? Explain how self-pollinating plants reproduce? What is the difference between pollination and fertilization in plants? Unit: MENDELIAN GENETICS Mr. Taylor, 2013 Revision No.1 2

7 *** MENDELIAN GENETICS *** D. MENDEL S GAMEPLAN After deciding to use pea plants as his subject, he chose to study only at a time. That way, it is easier to identify which should be included or eliminated. These characteristics included: Why is it important that Gregor Mendel chose only one characteristic at a time when studying pea plants? Mendel chose plants that had forms for each of the characteristics he studied. Mendel s plant characteristics that he studied: Plant HEIGHT Name at least 3 different traits that Gregor Mendel studied in pea plants?

True breeding (pure-bred) in plants: Example: A tall true-breeding or pure-bred plant will always produce offspring that are. Describe what Mendel meant by crosspollination? Describe what a pure-bred trait is and give one example? Mendel decided to find out what would happen if he or two plants that had different forms of a single trait. To do this, he used a method known as. Cross-pollination in plants: This way, Mendel could have control of his experiments by selecting which pollen would fertilize which plant.

MENDEL S FIRST EXPERIMENT In Mendel s first experiment, he performed crosses to study seven different characteristics. Each of the crosses was between the two traits of each characteristic. To study these different characteristics, he performed a (fertilization) between plants that produce seeds and plants that produce seeds. The offspring from this cross are known as the. See figure to the left. Write the result of the F1 generation to the left What do you think happened to the trait for wrinkled seeds? Why did not appear in the F1 generation? Write your reasoning below: In each of his crosses, Mendel observed similar results. One trait always appeared, and the other traits seemed to disappear. To organize his observations he labeled the trait that appeared as the traits. Based on the F1 generation, which of the following two traits are dominant? The trait that seemed to disappear he called the traits. Which of the following two traits are recessive? What happened to the recessive trait? Unit: MENDEIAN GENETICS Mr. Taylor, 2013 Revision No.1 5

10 *** MENDELIAN GENETICS *** G. MENDEL S SECOND EXPERIMENT Mendel allowed the F1 or first generation from each of the seven crosses to self-pollinate. Mendel allowed the F1 or offspring of the dominant trait for seed shape (which is round) to self-pollinate. The offspring from this self-pollinating cross is called the. In this generation the trait for showed up again. See figure on the right! No matter which characteristic Mendel investigated, when the F1 generation was allowed to self-pollinate, the recessive trait reappeared. *** PARENT GENERATION *** WRINKLED SEEDS ROUND SEEDS *** F1 GENERATION *** *** F2 GENERATION *** List some traits in your family that have appeared or disappeared from different generations: H.

11 *** MENDELIAN GENETICS *** I. PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER Mendel realized that his results could be explained only if each plant had sets of instructions for each characteristic. Even though, at the time, Mendel did not know about DNA, he realized that a set of instructions are passed down from the parents to the offspring. In fact, each parent donates a to the offspring. These sets of instructions are called genes. Review: Why is it important to mate an individual after the F1 generation? Describe the following terms: Genes - Alleles - Describe the importance of a Punnett Square? Genes: Alleles: To mathematically understand Mendel s conclusions it is important to use a tool called a. Punnett Square: Punnett Squares use two sets of alleles. Where do these sets come from? Why type of cell transmit these allelles? Punnett Squares use two different types of alleles. One set comes from each parent s cells. The father contributes while the mother contributes an. To represent the allele from each parent, are assigned.

15 *** PUNNETT SQUARES *** Interesting fact: Good ideas are often overlooked or misunderstood when they first appear. This was the fate of Gregor Mendel s ideas. In 1865, he published his findings for the scientific community. Unfortunately, his work didn t get much attention. It wasn t until after his death, more than 30 years later, that Mendel finally got the recognition he deserved. Once Mendel s ideas were rediscovered and understood, the door was opened to modern genetics. Practicing and Applying Concepts Predict the offspring from a cross between two hybrid tall pea plants.

21 MATERIALS Teacher will need: - SMARTboard, SMARTcart, or projector for guided notes, laser clicker - PowerPoint file (Mendelian Genetics PowerPoint if available) - Mendelian Genetics Life Note Packet (1-16) Students will need: - A pen, pencil, guided note packets, science binders, foldables, worksheets WARM-UP EXPLORATORY ACTIVITY ENGAGE, BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE, BUILD COMMUNITY, ENTICE EFFORT Day 1: Pre-assessment and Note Packet Format Discussion: 1. Handout student note packets. Students will be introduced to a 14 question formative pre-assessment quiz (located on the back of the cover within their note packets) Note: for the pre-assessment, only fill out the top two columns. The last two columns are for the post-assessment which will be given following the completion of this note packet. a. The Class percentage of pre-assessment is designed to access the student s prior background knowledge so that the teacher can get a good idea of how to approach the students within the content of the guided notes. 2. Following the pre-assessment, ask students to raise their hands if they either agreed or disagreed with each question. Put the entire class percentage in the space provided for each questions. It is best to fill out either agree or disagree for time consolidation purposes. After doing so, subtract from the total percentage of the class and fill in the other category. (Example: 1, , 90% 2, 70%) Note Packet Initiation 3. After the pre-assessment is complete go over the note packet and explain how each section is designed. On page #2 is the Unit vocabulary sheet. Design any system you want. However, this can be used as homework. As you go over the note packet and they encounter a vocabulary word, have them come back to this page and fill it out. Also, the 9 facts about Gregor Mendel is there for a review assignment. After you have finished teaching about Mendel, have the students come back to this page for a quick 9 fact summary. Make sure you explain to the students that their own facts are to be short and easy for them to remember. 4. Take some time to explain the SCIENCE NOTE LOG section of the note packet. Tell the students that this is their space to take notes, make drawings. They can always come back to this space when they feel that there is extra information that will help them reinforce learned material. I correlate this guided note packet with a PowerPoint. My PowerPoints have movies embedded within them. Every time I play a movie, I ask the students go to their Personal Journal notes and take notes on the movies. Make sure the students write the date when they write their notes. It will help them organize their thoughts. Again, be creative with the use of this page. 5. These notes can be used in many ways. Even though I primarily use them in correlation with an engaging PowerPoint, you can also copy these note as transparencies or hand them out as reading fill-in-the-blank assignments. How to use each page: 1. Each page of the notes is divided into two sections. One section is a note section and the other is a Note Making and Review section. As you go over the notes with your students, stop at the end of each page and have the students work in small collaborative groups to answer the previously learned material. This will act as reinforcement and will help you clear up and misunderstandings. Go over at the end. Mr. Taylor, 2013 Mendelian Genetics Revision No.1

Step #2: Step #3: Step #4: What % of the parent s offspring will have blue eyes (bb)? % Unit: MENDEIAN GENETICS Mr. Taylor, 2013 Revision No.1 10

34 *** PUNNETT SQUARES *** Interesting fact: Good ideas are often overlooked or misunderstood when they first appear. This was the fate of Gregor Mendel s ideas. In 1865, he published his findings for the scientific community. Unfortunately, his work didn t get much attention. It wasn t until after his death, more than 30 years later, that Mendel finally got the recognition he deserved. Once Mendel s ideas were rediscovered and understood, the door was opened to modern genetics. Practicing and Applying Concepts Predict the offspring from a cross between two hybrid tall pea plants. (T- tall, t-short) 6. What is the genotype for a hybrid tall plant? 7. Use the Punnett Square below to determine the genotypes for the offspring. 8. What is the probability that the plant would be tall? 9. What is the probability that the plant would be short? 10. If you planted 100 seeds from this cross, how many would you expect to be tall? Practicing and Applying Concepts The Punnett square at the left shows the possible combinations of alleles for fur color in rabbits. Black fur, B, is dominant over white fur, b. Given the combinations shown, what are the genotypes of the parents? Unit: MENDEIAN GENETICS Mr. Taylor, 2013 Revision No.1 11

35 *** PUNNETT SQUARES *** Use the chart above to answer the following questions based on the given genotypes of different alleles. 1. Offspring s alleles: What is the cat s phenotype if the genotype is [HH, Tt, nn]? 2. Write the genotype of a short haired, stripeless cat with no color in its tail? 3. If a heterozygote male cat mated with a homozygote long hair cat, what is the probability that their offspring will be short hair? Use the Punnett square below! 4. Is it possible for an offspring to have long hair if both it s parents had short hair? Explain? Unit: MENDEIAN GENETICS Mr. Taylor, 2013 Revision No.1 12
