9. Unwrapping a Benchmark for Q3 HOT Lab #5 – Pedigree Studies
SC.912.L.16.1 Use Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment to analyze patterns of inheritance. (AA)
Let’s Complete the Unwrapping a Benchmark sheet for this benchmark.
Department of Science

10. Unwrapping a Benchmark for Q3 HOT Lab #5 – Pedigree Studies
Benchmark Clarifications:
Students will use Mendel’s laws of segregation and independent assortment to analyze patterns of inheritance.
Students will identify, analyze, and/or predict inheritance patterns caused by various modes of inheritance.
Content Limits:
Items referring to general dominant and recessive traits may address but will not assess the P and F1 generations.
Items addressing dihybrid crosses or patterns that include codominace, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles, sex-linkage, or polygenic inheritance may assess the P and F1 generations.
Department of Science

11. Q3 HOT Lab #5 – Pedigree Studies
Purpose of Lab/Activity:
Students are challenged to track and record the passage of colored pom poms (representing genes) through generations of a family using a pedigree.
Students learn that common chronic diseases (such as heart disease) run in families and are caused by the combined action of multiple genes.
Students learn the meaning of all symbols and lines that are used in a pedigree.
Department of Science

12. Q3 HOT Lab #5 – Pedigree Studies
Let’s plan and do the Lab!!
In your groups:
Work through the lab procedures
Fill in all appropriate data/results
Identify what questions the teacher should be asking the student
Predict what questions the students will be asking (where will they get hung up) and how you should guide them to an answer

14. Q3 HOT Lab #5 – Debrief Review CER’s
Did HOT Lab #5 address everything in the content clarifications?
If everything from the content clarifications was not covered, how can we modify the activity to address all the content?
Was there anything from the content limits that was covered in this lab?
