All about Gregor Mendel
Austrian Monk, born in what is now Czech Republic in 1822. He was a son of peasant farmer,
who studied Theology and was ordained priest Order St. Augustine. He went to the University of
Vienna, where he studied botany and learned the Scientific Method.
He worked with pure lines of peas for eight years. Prior to Mendel, heredity was regarded as a
"blending" process and the offspring were essentially a "dilution“ of the different parental
characteristics.
His work was largely ignored for 34 years, until 1900, when 3 independent botanists
rediscovered Mendel’s work.
V. ACTIVITY TITLE: Missing Link
Procedure:
1. Identify the characteristics of the garden pea plants used by Mendel in his experiment.
2. Illustrate the characteristics of the traits on the manila paper provided. Use the table as your
guide.
Guide Questions:
1. How can you compare the traits observed by Mendel during his experiment?
2. What are the traits that are manifested during his experiments?
3. How about the traits masked by the manifested trait in the garden pea plants?
4. What can you say about the traits manifested in the garden pea plants?
5. How did Mendel come up with these observations?
Procedure:
1. Based on the lessons that you have learned, give your insights and reflections on the
importance of understanding Mendel’s experiments.
2. Use symbols, icons, pictures to explain your reflections or insights.
3. Share your insights within your group and in class after the activity.
Procedure:
1. On a piece of paper, make a chart similar to the given below.
2. Toss the two coins together. If a head-head combination appears, mark column 1; if head-tail,
mark column 2; and if tail-tail mark column.
3. Make 50 tosses of the coins. Get the total number of times each combination appears.
Calculate percentage of the appearance of each combination. To compute the percentage, use
this formula:
Total x 100 / 100%
4. Write your data gathered in the table provided below.
Total
Percentage
Ratio of combinations
Guide Questions:
1. What is the ratio of a head-head, head-tail, and tail-tail combination you make 50 tosses?
2. If you toss the same coins 100,000 times, would you get the same ratio?
3. Let the head (H) represent a dominant gene and the tail (h), a recessive gene.
compare the ratio you obtained in this activity with the one obtained by
Mendel in his monohybrid F2 generation peas. Are they approximately
similar?
Procedure:
1. Complete the Punnett squares by filling with the necessary genotypes and pasting the
pictures on the correct square showing the resulting offspring.
X. ACTIVITY TITLE: Mystery Cases
Procedure:
1. Solve the following problems, by using Punnett squares.
2. Write your answer in the worksheets provided.
1. A TT (tall) plant is crossed with a tt (short) plant. What percentage of the offspring will be tall?
2. A Tt plant is crossed with a Tt plant. What percentage of the offspring will be short? Tall?
3. A heterozygous round seeded plant (Rr) is crossed with a homozygous round seeded plant
(Rr) is crossed with a homozygous round seeded plant (RR). What percentage of the offspring
will be homozygous (RR)?
4. In pea plants purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. Two plants, both heterozygous
for the gene that controls flower color are crossed. What percentage of their offspring will have
purple flowers?
Procedure:
1. Predict the possible characteristics of baby Leo in the scenario given.
2. Show the possible characteristic using a Punnett square
ME (the mother):
- Recessive phenotype [straight finger]
- Q: What is my genotype?
Procedure:
1. Based on the lessons that you have learned, give your insights and reflections on the
importance of understanding Mendel’s experiments.
2. Use symbols, icons, pictures to explain your reflections or insights.
3. Share your insights within your group and in class after the activity.
