LEVEL ZERO VOICECATALYST (4 minutes, individual work):

1. Define gene.2. Define phenotype. 3. In humans, the ability to roll the tongue is a dominant trait.

The inability to roll the tongue is a recessive trait. If two individuals homozygous recessive for this trait have a child, what is the chance that the child will be able to roll his tongue?

4. The Punnett square above shows a genetic cross between two tall pea plants. (Phenotype is tall, Genotype is heterozygous Tt). If 75% of the offspring are tall, what type of inheritance occurred?

What is a case study?A case study is about a person, group, or situation that has been studied over time.[1] If the case study, for instance, is about a group

• it describes the behavior of the group as a whole, not the behavior of each individual in the group.

• Case studies can be produced by following a formal research method.

Sickle Cell Anemia – genetic basis

Cystic Fibrosis – genetic basis

Task 1 – 10 min
