Mendellian Genetics Simulation

Directions:  

  1. Partner with one other student
  2. One student visit the Mendellian Genetics Simulation site to begin the simulation (simulation may not work in Google Chrome browser).
  3. Second student record answers in this template below as you work through the simulation; be sure to share the file with your partner.
  4. TURN-IN:

  1. Rename your personal assignment in the following way: Class_Last Name_First Name_Assignment Name
  2. Example: 3B_Rott_Dan_Assignment Name
  3. Move or put your personal copy of the Lab into your “Biology Turn in Folder” Google Doc Collection/Folder.
  4. Turn in your assignment to Mr. Rott by using the following turn in link
  5. Turn in your assignment to Ms. Brill/Childers by using the following turn in link


List all of the traits you can see in Mendel's plants:

 

 

 

If you missed some, list them all here

 

 

Crosses

Make 3 crosses from the original plants.

Parent 1 Traits (list all 7)

Parent 2 Traits (list all 7)

Offspring Traits (list how many of each trait for all 7 traits)

  1. What can you summarize from the 3 crosses you made (can you identify any alleles for the different traits as dominant or recessive)?

 

 

  1. What happens when a plant with round peas is crossed with itself?

 

 

 

  1. What happens when a plant with wrinkled peas is crossed with itself?

 

 

 

  1. What does this suggest about the pea shape trait?

 

 

 

  1. What does dominant mean?

 

 

 

  1. What does recessive mean?

 

 

 

  1. Identify which allele for the different traits  in pea pod plants is dominant and which is recessive by writing it in the shape.
