1. Punnett Squares

2. Tuesday - Bellwork
Create a Venn diagram comparing phenotype and genotype: Use the words physical appearance, genetic makeup, heterozygous, homozygous, describes an organism, purple, tall, Pp, green,pp
Describe the difference between complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and codominance
IFC: What is the first step in the scientific method? A. make a hypothesis B. Ask a question C. draw conclusions D. do background research

3. Wednesday bellwork – 10/23
IFC: Chemists often make models of molecules using balls to show atoms and sticks to show bonds. The models help them see what the molecules might look like. What is a limitation of this model?
The models wont last as long as real molecules
The colors of the balls and sticks would not show the molecule’s real color
Real molecules are very small and complex, models could only approximate what they look like.
Chemists are bad model makers so they would not be very useful
In a cross between a yellow fish and a blue fish all of the offspring are green. What kind of dominance is this?
In some flowers blue and white are codominant. Describe the phenotypes of each of these flowers

4. Science Fair Topic and Question research
Today you will find a testable question for your science project.
Log in to my website: akbrownscience.weebly.com
Choose the science fair tab. You will find links to sites with topic and question ideas.
Look through the topic ideas and questions to help you get an idea for your project – choose at least 3 today and write them in your science fair log
Remember to write down the site you got the ideas from so you can find them again
When you finish, begin looking for background research on your project.

5. Thurs. Bellwork – 10/24
IFC
In Pea plants, round peas (R) are dominant over wrinkled peas (r).
What is the genotype of a homozygous recessive pea plant?
What is its phenotype?
What is the genotype of a heterozygous pea plant

6. EQ: how are patterns of inheritance studied?
OBJ: I can predict patterns in heredity because I can create Punnett squares and read pedigrees
SC.7.L.16.2 Determine the probabilities for genotype and phenotype combinations using Punnett Squares and pedigrees. 6

7. What is probability?
Probability is the likelihood that a particular event will occur
It can be written as a:
Fraction ____
Percent ____
Ratio ____
1/4
25%
1:3

8. What is a Punnet Square?
A Punnett square is a model that helps you find the probability of different outcomes from genetic crosses

9. COIN FLIP capital There are 2 possible outcomes: HEADS TAILS
COIN FLIP
There are 2 possible outcomes:
HEADS TAILS
capital
The chance the coin will land on either one is:
______ ______ _____
Alleles separate randomly just like a coin flip. . . So can use probability to predict outcomes of genetic crosses.
1/2
50%
1:1

10. Probability and Tossing Coins
If you toss a coin, what is the probability of getting heads?
Tails?
If you toss a coin 6 times, how many heads and how many tails would you expect to get?
Working with a partner, have one person toss a coin 6 times while the other person tallies the results on a sheet of paper. Then, switch tasks to produce a separate tally of the second set of 6 tosses.

11. Assuming that you expect 3 heads and 3 tails in 6 tosses, how do the results of your tosses compare? How about the results of your partner’s tosses? How close was each set of results to what was expected?
Add your results to those of your partner to produce a total of 12 tosses. Assuming that you expect 6 heads and 6 tails in 12 tosses, how close are these results to what was expected?
If you compiled the results for the whole class, what results would you expect?
How do the expected results differ from the observed results?

12. What is a Punnett Square
A Punnett square helps us predict the probability that an offspring with a particular genotype and phenotype will be produced
I wish I could make a punnett square

13. How do I create a Punnett Square?
To Make a Punnett square there are a few simple steps to follow:
1) draw a box and divide it into four parts

14. How do I create a Punett Square?
2) label the left hand side of the box with the genotype of one parent
(R=Red, r=White) R r

15. How do I create a Punnett Square
3) label the top of the box with the genotype of the other parent R r

16. How do I create a Punnett Square
4) In the middle boxes place 2 letters. One letter comes from the left side and one from the top R r Rr Rr rr rr

17. How do I Interpreti a Punnett Square
You now know the possible genotypes for the offspring of these two parents .
The genotypes and phenotypes can be given a ratios, fractions, or %s

While scientists already know a great deal about DNA, they continue to learn more about its role in genetics.What is the basis of scientists’ current understanding of DNA?
A. They guess how they think it works.
B. They use combined empirical evidence from many scientists.
C. They only use evidence that they have personally proven.
D. They assume they already know all there is to know, even when evidence contradicts that assumption.
