Sesame Street Genetics Final
Sesame Street Genetics Final
GENETICS ACTIVITY
Name ______________________
Step 2: Fill out a monster genetic profile for each of your parents (page 5)
using the Genetic key on page 4). If there are two genotype options for a
characteristic (e.g. five toes has FF and Ff) draw a number out of a hat (ie. 1 or
2) to determine what your monsters genotype for that characteristic
Step 3: Use the parents genotypes and the Punnett squares on pages 5 & 6 to
determine possible monster baby genotypes.
Choosing your F1s genotype: For each of your monster babys characteristics,
label the spaces in that Punnet square 1 through 4 and then randomly select
your monster babys genotype by drawing a number (1-4 from a hat). Record
this information in your monster baby profile on page 7.
Step 7: Draw your F2 Offspring (page 10) and complete the follow-up
assignment (page 9).

Conclusion:
2. What is an allele? List the alleles the Sesame Street characters have for
nose colour. Explain what kind of dominance these alleles display
3. In what circumstance will the phenotype match the genotype and when will
it not match? (Use examples from the lab to help your answer). What is this
type of inheritance called?
4. In this lab the body colour alleles showed a different phenotype pattern,
what is this inheritance pattern called and explain how it works.
