Section outline

  • The story continues...

    Success criteria:

    1) Compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis (explicit detail is not required) 

    2) Define and describe the importance of genetic variation 

    3) Use a Punnett square to calculate the phenotype and genotype of offspring

    Key words you should be comfortable using by the end of the week: allele, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, recessive, phenotype, genotype, and Punnett square 

    Activities:

    There will be a quiz on cells / DNA at the start of the week. 

    Continue with self selected activities relevant to the success criteria -- work through the Genetics tic tac toe (refer to Google Classroom) -- include evidence in the allocated box 

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING... to apply our understanding of genetics (eg. variation) so that we can hypothesise about what the traits of our offspring superhero babies will be
