Soap Opera Genetics --Genetics to Resolve Family Arguments
One or more of the episodes of this worksheet/discussion activity can be used to reinforce understanding of genetic principles and the relevance of genetics to everyday life. Episode 1 reinforces basic understanding of Punnett squares, which are also used in each of the other sections. Concepts covered include codominance and incomplete dominance (episode 2), sex-linked inheritance (episode 3) and test cross and polygenic inheritance (episode 4).
The first attached file has the Student Handout, the second attached file has the Teacher Notes, and the third attached file has the questions from the Student Handout but omits the soap opera scenarios and some of the explanations.
