  • Kia ora akonga,

    Success Criteria:
    I can use lab skills to extract DNA from fruit, and identify the DNA using a microscope
    I can explain how chromosomes determine sex
    I can explain how alleles determine the 3 types of genotypes
    I can describe the difference between genotype and phenotype, and explain how genotypes determine phenotypes
    I can use Punnett Squares to predict genotype and phenotype ratios/probabilities of offspring

    Activities:

    1. LAB - DNA extraction from kiwifruit and identifying DNA under a microscope
    2. Make a DNA paper model (Scipad 136-137)
    3. Punnett square activity on mini whiteboards
    4. Punnett squares SCIPAD 140-145
    5. Watch “Monohybrid and the Punnett Square Guinea Pigs"

    6. Brainpop - "Heredity" movie, quiz, challenge , vocabulary, worksheet
    7. Genetics - punnett squares tasksheet on GC
