Section III. Development of the organism and the continuity of life
III.3. Inheritance
III.3.1. Chromosomes
Activity 1: "keys to understanding genetics" Design a flash card with all important vocabulary / definitions (minimum=15words, individual - graded).
Tutorial video on genes and DNA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOvMNOMRRm8
Keywords: gene / allele / DNA / chromatids / centromere Command terms: Define / describe
III.3.2. Mitosis and III.3.3. Meiosis
Activity 2: Build a table to compare Mitosis and Meiosis, including process / result / function / location (class)
Keywords: Sommatic / germinative / haploid / diploid / mitotic spindle Command terms: Define / State / Compare
III.3.4. Monohybrid inheritance
Activity 3: Predicting genotypes and/or ratios using Punett grids - example used: Blood groups.
Activity 4: Identifying genotypes using pedigree charts - example used: Haemophilia.
Keywords: genotype / phenotype / homozygous / heterogsygous / dominant / recessive Command terms: Define / Palculate / Predict / Explain

III.3.5. Variation
Activity 5: Investigating phenotypic variation in Pachnoda marginata adults - plotting distribution (class) - discuss ethics / animals handling.
Keywords: continuous / discontinuous / mutation Command terms: State / Define / Describe
III.3.6. Selection
III.3.7. Genetic Engineering
Activity 6: Making a set of notes to cover III.3.6 to III.3.7 - using the command terms as guideline for depth of content (graded)
Keywords and command terms to be identified by students and given in lists at the end of notes - colour coded in text.
