Alien Genetics: Working with Dominant & Recessive Genes
In this lesson students will learn about basic genetic concepts, including traits, dominant and recessive genes, & phenotypes and genotypes. Students will observe their own traits and complete a genetic profile. They will then brainstorm traits and create a genetic profile for an alien. Finally, students will build their aliens based on the genetic profile. This lesson includes a PowerPoint (converted to a PDF and can't be edited) with description of genetic concepts and interactive slides for
