Standards:
SC.912.L.16.1 Use Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment to analyze patterns of inheritance.
SC.912.L.16.2 Discuss observed inheritance patterns caused by various modes of inheritance, including dominant, recessive, co-dominant, sex-linked, polygenic, and multiple alleles.
Objective:
1. Students understand Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment.
2. Students understand the role of dominant and recessive alleles of a gene and the impact of incomplete dominance, co-dominance, sex-linked genes, multiple alleles, and polygenic traits.
3. Students can use a Punnett square to predict the probability of an organism inheriting a specific genotype and phenotype.
