VIRTUAL LAB: PUNNETT SQUARES
Follow the link below and explore how Punnett squares are used to predict the outcomes for genetic crosses. To complete this assignment, use the following directions:
Follow the link below and explore how Punnett squares are used to predict the outcomes for genetic crosses. To complete this assignment, use the following directions:
- Click on the "Information" button. This section will give you important information that you will need in order to complete steps 2 and 4 so make sure you take notes.
- Follow the instructions on the left side of the screen. Complete Punnett squares (and the corresponding "table") for the following scenarios (#1, 4, and 10).
- Submit the table with your name to [email protected] AND sbick[email protected]
- Click on the "journal" button and answer questions 1-3.

NON-MENDELIAN INHERITANCE
Follow the link below for clarification of the non-mendellian patterns of inheritance. Follow the directions and complete the interactive lesson on the right of the screen (have a teacher check your work to make sure you're correct). After that is complete, click on "Challenge Me", answer questions 1-4, and take notes on them for reference.

SHOULD WE GROW GM CROPS?
On the following website, you will be asked the same question seven times: "Based on what you now know, do you think we should raise genetically modified (GM) crops?" Each time, you must answer Yes or No to that question, and each time, depending on how you responded, you will be presented with a new counterargument meant to challenge your stance. This feature presents six arguments for growing GM crops and six against, but whenever you answer yes or no, you will only see one side of the argument -- the one meant to challenge your position. However, before answering the question for the seventh and final time, you will be shown all 12 arguments for and against. At that point, you may choose Yes, No, or Undecided and then see where your final vote stands. "Should We Grown GM Crops?" |
GUESS WHAT'S COMING TO DINNER?
Please choose 4 items on the table and write how and why those items are being genetically modified. |
