Why do you look the way you do
Do you resemble one of your parents a sibling or a grandparent
What other traits have you inherited from your parents that may have been passed down through your family for generations
Have you only inherited physical traits
Genetics is the science of heredity and it helps answer all of these questions In this WebQuest you will discover the answers to these questions and learn the basics of the science of genetics

In ldquoMission Inheritancerdquo you will work with a partner to learn the basics of genetics and heredity Your mission is to learn about traits and how they are inherited as well as to discover how genetics work You will watch a video about heredity and traits explore dominant and recessive genes and learn to use a Punnett Square to find the probability of certain traits being passed from parents to a child You will use your knowledge to complete several web-based activities and take an on-line quiz You will then use all of the knowledge you have acquired to create a PowerPoint presentation or a brochure that teaches others about a certain genetic disorder and explains how it can be passed from one generation to the next Prepare for your mission

CHALLENGE OPTIONAL TASKS
If you are feeling really good about this whole genetics thing here are two extra challenges you and your partner may take
1) Click here to find the genetic crosses for Oompa Loompas
Be sure to print out the worksheet Draw Punnett Squares on the back of the sheet to find your answers
2) If you donrsquot like that one or if you want to further challenge yourselves try your luck at Penny Genetics to find ACTUAL ratios for the predicted ratios for traits Be sure to see your teacher for the pennies Do this challenge if you really like math

Now that you have learned about how genetics is involved in the inheritance of traits it is time to quiz yourself You and your partner should go to httpanthropalomaredumendelquizzesmendqui2htm
and give the six quiz questions a try
How did you do
All 6 correct - EXPERT
Four or five right ndash GENE SMART
Two or three correct ndash LEARNED A LITTLE
Anything less than that and maybe you should start this WebQuest all over again Or just take the quiz again and ask for hints along the way Be sure to read the correct answers

Content Project includes ALL of the following who gets the disease symptoms treatment factsstatistics how it is inherited testing and other important facts
Project includes most of the required information Explains the disease and how it is inherited
Project is missing several of the required areas Does not fully explain disease and how it is inherited
Project does not include enough information to help reader understand the disease andor how it is inherited
Style Project is creative and eye-catching Displays content in professional format

A few errors evident but they do not interfere with readability
Many errors difficult to read
Needs to be edited no acceptable
Now that you have completed Mission Inheritance you should have a good understanding of what a trait is and how people inherit traits You have learned the difference between dominant and recessive genes as well as the terms homozygous and heterozygous You know how to find the probability of a trait being passed from parents to a child by using a Punnett Square You can perform a Monohybrid and a Test Cross And you have researched a genetic disease and created a project to share information about that disease with others Great work ndash mission accomplished

This WebQuest was created for a 7th grade life science class as a teaching tool for the basics of the study of genetics Students will need access to computers and a printer as well as 2 popsicle sticks per pair Student who choose to accept the Challenge on Process 5 will also need 2 pennies per pair It is advisable for students to have a folder in which to keep all of their papers
This WebQuest is designed to help students achieve the following PA Science Standards
Pennsylvania Academic Standards Science - Grade 7337B5 ndash Explain disease effects on structures or functions of an organism
Pennsylvania Academic Standards Science - Grade 7337C1 - Identify and explain inheritable characteristics
Pennsylvania Academic Standards Science - Grade 7337C2 - Identify that the gene is the basic unit of inheritance
Pennsylvania Academic Standards Science - Grade 7337C3 - Identify basic patterns of inheritance (eg dominance recessive co-dominance)
Pennsylvania Academic Standards Science - Grade 7337C4 - Describe how traits are inherited
Introduction
Now that you understand about how traits are inherited itrsquos time to learn how to do a genetic cross Sounds impressive doesnrsquot it Open the folder below and print out Note Sheet 3 Learning to Use Punnett Squares Read over the notes and do the practice Punnett Square
You are now ready to continue your missionhelliphellip

1) Click here to find the genetic crosses for Oompa Loompas
Be sure to print out the worksheet Draw Punnett Squares on the back of the sheet to find your answers
2) If you donrsquot like that one or if you want to further challenge yourselves try your luck at Penny Genetics to find ACTUAL ratios for the predicted ratios for traits Be sure to see your teacher for the pennies Do this challenge if you really like math

and give the six quiz questions a try
How did you do
All 6 correct - EXPERT
Four or five right ndash GENE SMART
Two or three correct ndash LEARNED A LITTLE
Anything less than that and maybe you should start this WebQuest all over again Or just take the quiz again and ask for hints along the way Be sure to read the correct answers

Project is lacking creativity hard to follow
Project is not visually pleasing
Conventions Spelling and grammar are perfect No apparent errors
A few errors evident but they do not interfere with readability
Many errors difficult to read
Needs to be edited no acceptable
Now that you have completed Mission Inheritance you should have a good understanding of what a trait is and how people inherit traits You have learned the difference between dominant and recessive genes as well as the terms homozygous and heterozygous You know how to find the probability of a trait being passed from parents to a child by using a Punnett Square You can perform a Monohybrid and a Test Cross And you have researched a genetic disease and created a project to share information about that disease with others Great work ndash mission accomplished

This WebQuest was created for a 7th grade life science class as a teaching tool for the basics of the study of genetics Students will need access to computers and a printer as well as 2 popsicle sticks per pair Student who choose to accept the Challenge on Process 5 will also need 2 pennies per pair It is advisable for students to have a folder in which to keep all of their papers
This WebQuest is designed to help students achieve the following PA Science Standards
Pennsylvania Academic Standards Science - Grade 7337B5 ndash Explain disease effects on structures or functions of an organism
Pennsylvania Academic Standards Science - Grade 7337C1 - Identify and explain inheritable characteristics
Pennsylvania Academic Standards Science - Grade 7337C2 - Identify that the gene is the basic unit of inheritance
Pennsylvania Academic Standards Science - Grade 7337C3 - Identify basic patterns of inheritance (eg dominance recessive co-dominance)
Pennsylvania Academic Standards Science - Grade 7337C4 - Describe how traits are inherited
Introduction
Your mission is almost complete Now comes your chance to show your stuff You have learned how traits are inherited however many diseases are also passed down genetically throughout generations Your final mission is to research a genetic disorder and create a PowerPoint presentation or a Publisher brochure that teaches people about it and explains how it can be inherited Your PowerPoint should include at least 7 slides and the brochure should have 6 columns - 3 on each side Use the following link to find some genetic disorders listed on the left side Click on one to begin your research then check the Research link button below for other sites to use for more information Good luck httpyourgenesyourhealthorg
