PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

• We are PLANNING to demonstrate how punnett squares produce and predict the genotypes of a cross or breeding in an experiment.
• We are PLANNING to hypothesis what different combinations of gametes based on their genetic composition of the parents.

Kia ora ākonga. To end of our topic we will be looking at punnett squares, and researching on our own family ancestry and observing the traits that have been passed down from generation to generation. 

Plan for the week is as follows: 

Monday: Punnett squares theory and notes 

Wednesday: Family tree research and finding traits activity ( on GC) 

Thursday: Finish family tree activity 

Success Criteria: I can/have...

• • Describe a trait and give examples.
  • Understand the relationship between alleles and heterozygous and homozygous traits.
  • Create a 2 x 2 Punnett square and predict traits passed from parents to children.
  • Research on my own family tree and identify traits that have been passed down from generation to generation and which are dominant/recessive.
