Who is the "Father" of genetics? Why?

Learning Intentions

• You can analyze how genotype and phenotype are related to nature vs nuture.

• You can compare the difference between an inherited and acquired trait and which is past down from parents.

• You can define an allele and how to determine if an allele is dominant of recessive, and whether an organism is homozygous or heterozygous for a specific trait.

• You can perform a monohybrid cross using gizmo and a punnett square, and determine the genotypic and phenotypic effect of the cross.

• You can define the following terms: P generation, F₁ generation and F₂ generation

Big Idea 3
3.14 The student is able to apply mathematical routines to determine Mendelian patterns of inheritance provided by data sets.
3.15 The student is able to explain deviations from Mendel’s model of the inheritance of traits.
3.16 The student is able to explain how the inheritance patterns of many traits cannot be accounted for by Mendelian genetics.
3.24 The student is able to predict how a change in genotype, when expressed as a phenotype, provides a variation that can be subject to natural selection.
