Genetics PowerPoint Notes

These Genetics and Punnett Square Notes will help you walk your ESL students through working genetic problems using Punnett squares. Gregor Mendel is introduced, vocabulary is introduced, steps to completing a Punnett square are covered and genetic problems are worked out. Mendelian, Non-Mendelian and Pedigrees are included. Monohybrid problems with dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles and sex-linked traits are shown along with dihybrids. Students learn how to determine the parent genotypes and phenotypes, set up a square, and determine the genotypes, phenotypes and ratios of the offspring. Shortcuts to solving dihybrids are also included. Students will also learn how to read and identify individuals on pedigrees.
