Description
In this interactive, google slides lesson, students learn how to recognize what inheritance pattern is being shown by a pedigree chart. The types of inheritance covered in this lesson are simple dominant traits, simple recessive traits, and sex-linked recessive traits. All of the traits discussed in this lesson are real human traits.
First, students learn about three human traits: ectrodactyly (a dominant trait), albinism (a recessive trait), and color blindness (a sex-linked recessive trait). Students drag arrows onto a pedigree chart to show what clues they can use in each to determine the inheritance pattern. Then, they use that knowledge to fill in a chart of clues- how can students determine the inheritance pattern in any pedigree chart just by asking themselves a few questions?
Once they have been given the tools they need to determine inheritance, students are presented with six more examples of pedigrees showing human traits. For each one, they must state what type of inheritance is being shown, as well as how they determined this.
Thank you, and happy teaching!
