Group I – Incomplete Dominance I learned about ________________________________
Group II – Co- Dominance I need to learn this because ______________________
Group III – Multiple Allele I can use this in my day by day activities by __________
Group IV – Law of Dominance
Ask some students to post their output and ask one representative
from each group to present their output.
D. Developing Mastery (Explain)
Ask these questions: What is the Law of Dominance?
How does it differ from the other patterns of inheritance?
Give lecture about the different patterns of inheritance.
E. Application and Generalization (Elaborate)
Board Work:
Using the different patterns of inheritance, predict the possible
phenotype of:

Genetics is the study of heredity and variation. genotypic ratios of typical Mendelian traits. (Page 14)
The focus of genetics research shifted to understanding what really
happens in the transmission of hereditary traits from parents to
children. A number of hypotheses were suggested to explain heredity,
but Gregor Mendel, a little known Central European monk, was the
only one who got it more or less right. Through the selective cross-
breeding of common pea plants (Pisum sativum) over many
generations, Mendel discovered that certain traits show up in offspring
without any blending of parent characteristics. For instance, the pea
flowers are either purple or white--intermediate colors do not appear in
the offspring of cross-pollinated pea plants. Mendel observed seven
traits that are easily recognized and apparently only occur in one of
two forms.
E. Application and Generalization (Elaborate)
Genetic map. Write on a piece of paper the members of your family
and write down the traits that are with yours. Which member of the
family do you have more similarities? Less similarities? What may be
the factors that determine the similarities of your traits?
