Genes, Chromosomes, and Heredity

Look at the photos on the following slide of famous family members. Identify similar characteristics between the children and the parents. Instructional Approach(s): Use the following slides to identify similar characteristics between the parents and children.

The Smith Clan Use for discussion of similarities between parents and children.

The Sheen Clan Use for discussion of similarities between parents and children.

The Wayans Clan Use for discussion of similarities between parents and children.

The Royal Family Use for discussion of similarities between parents and children.

Think of a characteristic that you share with a family member. Think of a characteristic that you have that none of your family members share. Instructional Approach(s): With an elbow partner, use 1-2 minutes to have students to discuss this information with each other. While it will not be possible for all pairs to share with the class, choose one or two pairs to share their findings with the whole group.

Heredity is the passing of traits from parents to offspring. Genetics is the study of heredity. Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students fill in the answers to #1 and #2 on their notes sheet.

What’s the difference between these two cells? Prokaryote Eukaryote Instructional Approach(s): Ask students to identify the difference(s) they see, making note of the true difference being the genetic material being contained in a true nucleus in a eukaryote, and not in a true nucleus for a prokaryote. Genetic Material Genetic Material

What’s the purpose of the genetic material? Prokaryote Eukaryote Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should pose the question to the class and either ask for volunteer responses or call on specific students to answer the question. Genetic Material Genetic Material

The genetic material is DNA Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students fill in the information for number 3 on their notes worksheet.

Deoxyribonucleic Acid DNA stands for… Deoxyribonucleic Acid Genetic Material: DNA Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students fill in the information for number 3 on their notes worksheet.

DNA is often referred to as a blueprint because it contains the instructions needed for an organism to grow, maintain itself, and reproduce. Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students fill in the information for number 3 on their notes worksheet.

The basic unit of our genetic instructions: DNA instructions are encoded in the sequence of its chemical 'letters' or bases. There are four bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). Another base, uracil (U) replaces T in RNA. 

Genetic material (DNA) makes you a individual with a unique combination of characteristics. These characteristics are also known as traits. Turn to a seat partner and describe a few Traits that make you different from others. Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students fill in the information on their notes worksheet. Additionally, give partners about 30 seconds to discuss traits that make them different from others.

DNA Model

Inherited Traits Many of your traits may resemble those your parents have, including your hair color, eye color, and blood type. These characteristics are called inherited traits. Some traits are acquired, not inherited. Which means the trait is developed during your life. Some traits are both inherited and acquired. For example, skin color has both an inherited component and an environmental one. Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students fill in the information on their notes worksheet.

Inherited Traits Instructional Approach(s): The teacher can use the image to illustrate the concept of inherited traits.

Inherited Traits? If a mother works out as a body builder for many years, will her offspring inherit strong muscles? Why or Why Not? If a father speaks several languages fluently, will his children be able to understand what he is saying in different languages? Why or Why Not? Instructional approach(s): With elbow partners or groups, allow 2-3 minutes for students discuss these two situations. Have one or two groups discuss their answers with the class. (No to both. Both are results of individual efforts, making them acquired.)

Inherited and Acquired Traits Turn to a seat partner and share a trait that you inherited and a trait that you may have just acquired. Instructional Approach(s): Have students turn to a partner and discuss the question on the slide. Partners can be determined by the students or the teacher can provide more specific directions such as turn to the person directly in front/behind you or to the right/left of you, etc. It may be necessary to have a group of three if you have an uneven number of students. Do not allow more than 1-2 minutes of discussion time. The teacher should be walking around listening and redirecting discussions as needed. The teacher can briefly discuss student responses.

Traits Inventory Activity Instructional Approach(s): Have students turn to a partner and discuss the question on the slide. Partners can be determined by the students or the teacher can provide more specific directions such as turn to the person directly in front/behind you or to the right/left of you, etc. It may be necessary to have a group of three if you have an uneven number of students. Do not allow more than 1-2 minutes of discussion time. The teacher should be walking around listening and redirecting discussions as needed. The teacher can briefly discuss student responses.

The answer is in the understanding of Heredity. Based on our trait sorting activity, we know that we have characteristics of our parents, yet we are unique individuals. Why is this? Instructional Approach(s): Transition slide The answer is in the understanding of Heredity.

Gregor Mendel discovered that there are patterns to inheritance Gregor Mendel discovered that there are patterns to inheritance. He did this by studying pea plants while living at a monastery. Instructional approach(s): Have students fill in notes sheet. ***Include brief explanation of the experiment, about a short pea plant as an offspring of two tall pea plants***

Through Mendel’s discoveries, we found out that inherited traits (characteristics) are determined by genes. Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present the information on the slide while the students fill in #8 on their notes sheet.

Genes, Chromosomes, Heredity, and DNA, what’s the difference? Transition slide

Genes, Chromosomes and DNA Instructional Approach(s): View video clip.

Each set of Genes codes for a different trait Chromosomes Each set of Genes codes for a different trait Instructional Approach(s): The teacher should present information on slide.

A Recipe for Traits Activity Instructional Approach(s): This activity is intended to show the relationship between DNA, genes, and the inheritance of traits. Do not focus on the bases or dominant, recessive, genotype, phenotype, etc. Save these concepts for essential question 3.
