Subject/Grade: Biology
Standard:
S4.C2.PO3. Explain how genotypic variation occurs and results in phenotypic diversity.
Objective:
Apply the laws of heredity and complex inheritance by creating a pedigree chart that
indicates the genotype and phenotype of each individual.
Sub-objectives, SWBAT:
Evidence of Mastery:
Students will complete the pedigree chart worksheet and create a pedigree chart, which has
three generations with at least three individuals per generation, their choice of complex
inheritance, and the genotype and phenotype of each individual labeled, with a score of 12/15.

Opening/Anticipatory Set:
1. Raise your hand if you have seen a family tree before or know what one is? (Pause for
appropriate wait time, about 7 seconds.) For anyone who needs a reminder here is an example
of a family tree (Put a picture of a family tree on the screen.) What information does a family
tree tell you? (Pause with appropriate wait time, about 7 seconds. Call on students by name.
Student answers may include the following: how people are related and who is in your family.)
2. We have discussed how Mendel determined that alleles are passed from parents to offspring
using his pea plant experiments. What are some of the different types of inheritance? (Give
sufficient wait time, about 7 seconds. Call on students by name. Students may answer with some
of the following: co-dominance, incomplete dominance, sex-linked traits, linked-traits, and simple
dominance.)
3. Today we will be combining elements of a family tree and inheritance patterns to interpret and
create pedigree charts.
4. Change slide to show the standard and read aloud to students. Move to the next slide containing
