Genetics
¨The study of Heredity"
It is the study of how we inherit our traits. Of course it all starts with our parents, or more specifically, their Gametes.
Standards to learn for Genetics are:
To predict Possible outcomes of various genetic combinations such as monohybrids, dihybrids, non-Mendelian inheritance.
Our Learning Goals are:

Standards to learn for Genetics are:
To predict Possible outcomes of various genetic combinations such as monohybrids, dihybrids, non-Mendelian inheritance.
Our Learning Goals are:
- To explain that there is a dominant and recessive allele for many genes
- We are to discuss why traits can "skip" generations
- Observe that the dominant form of the gene is not necessarily the most common form in a given population

First Assignment in Genetics
An Schoology, you will write a summary about the above video. You will use the proper terms in your summary. Make sure that you include terms like alleles, homozygous and heterozygous traits in your summary. This will be uploaded on Schoology. Make sure that it is 200 words. The summary should be written in proper paragraphs with an intro sentences, supporting sentences and a closing sentences. It should also be multiple paragraphs. This is due on Friday 3/24/17.

Punnet Squares
Punnet Squares are used to make predictions on the traits of offspring. We use them to study probabilities of traits and the frequency in which they show up in a population.

Much of the Genetics that you have been working on is Mendilian Genetics. It is named after the Swedish Monk who first published his work on Genetics. What he was looking at were traits that were either one thing or the other due to the Dominant and Recessive factors in their genes. In nature this does not usually occur. In fact traits often blend, share, or have multiple factors affecting their traits.
You will be looking at Non-Mendilian Genetics, so figure out these traits, still following many of Mendel's principles.
