LEARNING OBJECTIVES

● Describe some of the history of Mendel’s work on patterns of Inheritance

● Predict outcome from genetic cross experiments
● Describe patterns of inheritance which deviate from Mendel’s principles
and laws
● Analyze pedigree charts to determine whether they are autosomal or sex
linked
● Discuss the basis of Linkage and recombination
● Describe mutations and analyze the causes and symptoms of genetic
disorders

Working towards Meeting Exceeding Expectations

Objectives Expectations Expectations
I am able to ……………….
Define terminologies in Identify terms like Explain laws of Analyze problems in genetics that
Genetics and Mendel’s allele, dominant, Mendel based on deviates from Mendelian principles
laws of Inheritance recessive, monohybrid and
homozygous, dihybrid cross
heterozygous, Practice problems
genotype, phenotype, based on Mendel’s
law of dominance, laws
segregation and
independent
assortment
Describe other patterns of Explain incomplete Distinguish between Compare and differentiate between
Inheritance dominance, co complete Epistasis and complimentary genes
dominance, multiple dominance and
alleles- pleiotropy and incomplete
polygenic inheritance dominance, multiple
allelism and co
dominance
Categorize pedigree into Differentiate between Explain disorders Create a pedigree chart for a sex
autosomal, autosomal autosomal and sex like hemophilia, linked and autosomal disorder in
recessive and sex linked linked pedigree, color blindness, humans
dominant and sickle cell anemia
recessive pedigree with the help of
pedigree charts

Describe mutation, causes Differentiate between Identify Mendelian Compare quantitative and
and disorders point and frameshift and Chromosomal qualitative disorders with examples
mutations disorders
