GT and I discussed how traits are passed down from one generation to the next, and the process that makes this possible. We reviewed meiosis, which results in haploid sperm or eggs (with only half the chromosomes). I explained the theories put forth by Mendel, who worked with pea plants. GT was familiar with Punnett squares, but we explored how they work over several generations. Working on monohybrids( one trait) GT worked on an activity to determine the phenotype (appearance) and genotype (genetic makeup) of individuals from several crosses. We then added another trait (dihybrid) to expand the process to show how several traits are tracked. We then examined sex-linked genes (hemophilia, and color blindness for example).
