Objective: I will be able to explain who Mendel is, and his contributions to heredity. I will
be able to calculate rations to predict the results of crosses using probabilities.
Standards: Mendels laws of inheritance are interwoven with current knowledge of DNA
and chromosome structure and function to build toward basic knowledge of modern
genetics. Gene mutations can be passed to offspring. Empowered learner, digital citizen.
Big questions: Who is Gregor Mendel and what is his contribution to heredity? How can
we predict what trait will be inherited?
Plan Outline:
1. Circle the following underlined words to make the sentence true. If the purple
flower is PP that would be heterozygous or homozygous recessive or
dominate.
2. If the purple flower is Pp that would be heterozygous or homozygous recessive
or dominate.
P p P P
p p
p p
3. Determine what the letters in each box represent. (Purple flower or White Flower)
4. If the test cross shows that half of the offspring have white flowers, what is the
genotype of the plant with purple flowers?
