DETAILED LESSON PLAN

Mendelian Genetics

I. OBJECTIVES

A. Content Standards
The learners demonstrate an understanding of :
1. how cells divide to produce new cells
2. meiosis as one of the processes producing genetic variations of the Mendelian
Pattern of Inheritance

B. Performance Standards
The learners should be able to report on the importance of variation in plant and
animal breeding.

C. Learning Competencies/Objectives
1. predict phenotypic expressions of traits following simple patterns of inheritance

Subtask: a. discuss the contributions of Gregor Mendel on his ideas on inheritance

b. describe the phenotypic expressions of traits following simple pattern of
inheritance.

IV. PROCEDURES
ELICIT
1. Elicit prior knowledge about the cell using mystery box. Inside the box are papers
of different shapes. Each shaped paper contain one question.
2. Call student to pick one shape in the box and let her read aloud.
3. Call another student to answer the question.
4. Do nos. 2 & 3 until all questions are drawn.

ENGAGE
Perform the activity , What’s Inside the cell?
Materials : PPT presentation, cut-out labels/parts
Procedure :
1. Identify the missing parts shown inside the cell.
2. Draw and label the missing parts inside the cell.
3. Recall the function of the missing parts.

Guide Questions:
1. What parts make the cell complete?
2. What are the functions of those parts being placed inside the cell? Describe those
parts.
3. What part that serves as the “brain” of the cell? Tell something more about it.
EXPLORE
Group Work : Activity Title – Let’s Volt In!

Materials : 1/8 illustration board, clay (different colors), marker

Procedure :
1. Illustrate chromosome, gene, and DNA
2. Use the space provided to illustrate the given terms.
3. Report your answer.

EXPLAIN
Individual Work: Activity Title: Picture Perfect

Materials : Worksheet, pen, family picture

Procedure :
1. Show a sample of your family picture.
2. List down traits or characteristics that are manifested in your family.
3. Put a check if these traits go either from your father or mother. On the other hand,
put both checks if those traits got from your both parents.
4. Answer the guide questions provided below.

Guide Questions:

2. What are the traits inherit from your mother? From your father? Or from both
parents?
3. What do you mean by inherit?
4. How these traits are inherited from parents to offspring?
5. Do you have other traits that you think are not manifested in your family?

ELABORATE
Perform the activity – Graphic Organizer

Materials : Manila Paper, pentel pen, marker, coloring materials

Procedure :
1. Identify the characteristics of the garden pea plants used by Mendel in his
experiment.
2. Illustrate the characteristics of the traits on the manila paper provided : Use the
table as your guide.

Guide Questions:
1. How can you compare the traits observed by Mendel during his experiment?
2. What are the traits that are manifested during his experiments?
3. How about the traits masked by the manifested trait in the garden pea plants?
4. What can you say about the traits manifested in the garden pea plants?
5. How did Mendel come up with these observations?

EVALUATE
Administer a quiz.
Answer the table below showing the characteristics/traits of the garden pea plants used
by Mendel in his experiment.
Observed Characteristics Dominant Trait Recessive Trait
Seed color 1. 2.
Seed shape 3. 4.
Flower color 5. 6.
Pod shape 7. 8.
Pod color 9. 10.
Flower position 11. 12.
Stem length 13. 14.

Questions:
1. How did Mendel come up with the observations shown in the table above? (2pts.)
2. What can you say about the traits manifested in the garden pea plants? (2pts)
3. How about the traits masked by the manifested trait in the garden pea plants?
(2pts)

EXTEND
Read more about Gregor Mendel. Answer the following questions.
1. What are the laws formulated by Gregor Johann Mendel?
2. State each law of inheritance.
