Time to investigate! • Complete the lesson investigation: • Observing Human Traits
Why is that flower purple? • gene - a unit that determines traits • alleles - different forms of a gene • dominant allele - the form of a gene that, when present, covers up the appearance of the recessive allele • recessive allele - the form of a gene that is hidden when the dominant allele is present
Punnett squares A punnett square shows all of the possible combinations of alleles from the parents. Here are some examples:
Time for practice! • Complete the lesson practice activity: • Genetics Vocabulary
Show what you know! • Try the lesson’s interactive quiz, or complete a quiz that your teacher can print out for you. • Hint: • You might want to review your lesson reading piece one more time before trying the quiz.
