World Builders: Punnet Squares E Viau CSULA
Punnett Squares Punnett Squares are diagrams used by scientists to help them to figure out how inherited traits (characteristics) will be distributed. The yellow rectangles show the genes that the parents have.
Using the Internet to Do Punnett Squares
Summary:Using a computer connected to the Internet, the student will construct and use Punnett squares of monohybrid crosses to explain how genetic traits are passed to offspring. Main Curriculum Tie: Science - 7th GradeStandard 4Students will understand that offspring inherit traits that make them more or less suitable to survive in the environment. Materials: computer lab (1 computer per 1-3 students) or TV or Video projector connected to a demonstration computer paper and pencil Background For Teachers:This lesson is best done after students have been introduced to the concept of the Punnett square and how it is used to predict possible traits of offspring. A Punnett square looks like a box divided into four squares.
