Understanding Polygenic Traits and Inheritance Patterns in Genetics

This lesson focuses on polygenic traits and patterns of inheritance, essential concepts in genetics. Students will explore multiple alleles, co-dominance, and the significance of universal blood types. The kick-off question about blood type eligibility promotes engagement in genetics. Students must complete a formal 5-paragraph research paper on their chosen topics for the Science Fair project, emphasizing background knowledge. It's crucial to understand concepts like carriers and incomplete dominance as part of their learning log. Papers are due by Jan. 29 to avoid late penalties.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Feb 4 • Learning Target: I can understand polygenic traits. • Kick off Question: What type of blood is the universal donor? • Essays not turned in will be counted as late and will incur a late penalty of 5% per day. • May be printed, emailed or drop boxed to me. • Notes: Patterns of inheritance • Multiple alleles and Polygenic traits • More genetic problems. • Vocabulary: • Universal recipient • Polygenic traits • Co-dominance • quiz • Learning log: What did you learn about genetics today (must be in complete sentence)?

  2. Jan. 31 quiz • What is a polygenic trait? • What alleles represent type O blood? • What is incomplete dominance? • What is co-dominance? • What is a carrier?

  3. Complete research: Part of your Science Fair project will be creating a set of background knowledge. This paper should be a formal 5 paragraph essay that gives the reader a sense of what is already known about your topic. • Research paper should have an introduction, a good conclusion explaining how the information ties to your project and three main points. • Each person needs their own paper • Need to be typed and need a work cited page typed • Due Jan 29 • May be printed or drop boxed to me.
