Genetics Genetics includes the study of heredity, or how traits are passed from parents to offspring. The topics of genetics vary and are constantly changing as we learn more about the genome and how we are influenced by our genes. Inheritance Mendel & Inheritance – powerpoint presentation covering basics of genetics Simple Genetics Practice – using mendelian genetics and punnett squares Genetic Crosses with two traits – basic crosses, uses Punnet squaresGenetic Crosses with two traits II – basic crossses, uses Punnett squaresDihybrid Crosses in Guinea Pigs (pdf) – step through on how to do a 4×4 punnett square Codominance & Incomplete Dominance – basic crosses involving codominance X-Linked Traits – practice crosses that involve sex-linkage, mainly in fruitflies The Genetics of Blood Disorders – a worksheet with genetics problems that relate to specific disorders: sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, and Von Willebrand disease.

Cell, Socks, and Sex Cell, Socks, and Sex Description: This is a fun, easy way to teach the process of mitosis and meiosis. This will strengthen vocabulary concepts like homologus pairs, diploid, haploid, tetrad and many others. This lesson will also clear up concepts like sexual determination, trisomy and even twining. Materials: Four or five pairs of socks. Lesson Plan: I start with a long, striped piece of fabric that has been twisted hundreds of times to represent chromatin material. I use socks with colored stripes, so that I can easily make reference to the genes in them, but add the idea of homologous chromosomes and alleles. I use a similar approach to teach meiosis. Now, I add the sex chromosomes to the original autosomal chromosomes. While singing Sthe race is on and here comes Clyde in the back stretch,S the sperm swims a bit and meets the egg.

Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver acrylic in black, orange, green, yellow, and blue Needles: US 3 double-pointed (see my double-pointed needle tutorial to learn how they work) The DNA model was made with two equal black twisted tubes using the right-twist variation of self-twisting tubes. The base pairs were 9 stitches around, or 3 per needle. 6th row: 2 yellow, 3 blue, 2 yellow, 2 blue7th row: 3 yellow, 2 blue, 3 yellow, 1 blue8th row: 4 yellow, 1 blue, 4 yellow Then the 9th through 13th rows were all yellow, then a binding off row of yellow. The orange-green ones were one cast-on row of orange, then 5 rows of orange, then as follows: Then the 8th through 13th rows were all green, then a binding off row of green.
