The inherited traits are determined by genes that are passed from parents to children .  \n2. A child inherits two sets of genes—one from each parent.  \n3. A trait may not be observable, but its gene can be passed to the next generation .  \nMendelian Inheritance  \nEach person has 2 copies of every gene—one copy from mom and a second copy from dad. These copies may come in different variations, known as alleles, that express different traits.  \nFor example, 2 alleles in the gene for freckles are inherited from mom and dad:  \n– allele from mom = has freckles (F)  \n– allele from dad = no freckles (f)  \n– child has the inherited gene pair of alleles, Ff (F allele from mom and f allele from dad) .  \nPre‐lesson Activity slide notes for suggested discussion guides for teachers  \nSlide 1: This set of slides can be used as a review or introduction of basic genetic concepts that students should know before the Lessons 1 and 2.  \nSlide 2: Conduct a brief class discussion to assess students’ knowledge and assumptions about genetics, while providing the information to those students who may not have any prior knowledge.  \nSlice 3: Hand out the Word Match Activity worksheet and ask students to work in pairs to complete the worksheet. If needed, tell students that “double helix*” is paired with another term, and that both terms should be placed in one of the six areas indicated on the illustration.  \nSlide 4: Have students volunteer the answers and clarify that “double helix” is the structure of DNA.  \nSlide 5: Use this overhead for students to complete the 4 sentences.  \nSlide 6: Have students volunteer their answers, and help students understand that the inherited traits are passed from one generation to the next as the parents’ chromosomes are copied and passed to their children.  \nSlide 7: (Optional) F","cbCaia0TxwnxqBhk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia0TxwnxqBhk","pdf",2488826,103,"English","# Genetics: what is it?\n## Word Match Activity\n## Genetic Concepts and Genetic Terms\n## Mendelian Inheritance\n## Pre-lesson Activity slide notes","[{\"question\":\"What is genetics according to the lesson plan?\",\"answer\":\"Genetics is defined as the study of heredity, the process in which a parent passes certain genes onto children.\"},{\"question\":\"How do Mendelian inheritance examples explain gene sets?\",\"answer\":\"Each child inherits two sets of genes, one copy from each parent.
