Begin the unit by asking the students if they have ever been told that they have another relative s features that are different from their parents. Allow some time for story sharing before explaining that the science of genetics determines how traits are inherited. Brainstorm with the students to determine the extent of prior knowledge they have about genetics or heredity. 2. Provide the students with the vocabulary words for defining in their notebook. Discuss each word briefly. 3. Pages of Heredity are excellent summaries of Mendel s work. Remember to locate Austria on the wall map. 4. HOMEWORK: (Due Friday) Using research skills, assign a 1-2 page essay detailing the biographical information and genetic research contributions of one of the following: Rosalind Franklin, James D. Watson, Martha Chase, Jacques Monod, or Barbara McClintock. Papers will be briefly presented individually or grouped by scientist. Encourage students to have visual aids. 1.

Treat this part of the lesson as a James Bondian mystery. The DNA is the container of the genetic code; the reason we look and sometimes, as research is discovering, act. Use pages of Heredity: The Code of Life to aid you in your lecture and board illustrations. 3. Explain that the helix (twisted ladder) structure of DNA has phosphate groups and sugar molecules as side supports, while the center rungs are made up of Adenine, which always pairs with Thymine, and Guanine, which always pairs with Cytosine (and vice versa). 4. Ask the students to determine the other strand of the following DNA molecule for practice in class AACGTTT. (Answer: TTGCAAA) 5. HOMEWORK: Make up at least 10 different strands of DNA for the students to figure out the other half. 1. Review questions 2. Replication Activity Participation 3.

Explain the total process of DNA replication (DNA unzips and free nitrogen bases floating in the nucleus attach to the strand appropriately forming two DNA molecules. 3. To further illustrate replication, figure out ahead of time the number of students necessary to act out the process. The following is the formula for 24 students: 6 students are one strand of a DNA molecule and 6 are the other side (based on nitrogen pairings). Give the DNA molecule students a slip of paper with their nitrogen base code. Ask them to pair up correctly and join hands (or wrists). Check the pairings. The remaining 12 students represent the free nitrogen bases in the nucleus. Give them their appropriate slip of paper and ask them to begin floating around the classroom. Go to the DNA molecule students and walk right up the middle, causing them to drop hands. The right side of the separated molecule should go and line up exactly as they are somewhere else. When this happens, the free nitrogen base students should begin to join up with their partner nitrogen base, thus resulting in 24 students becoming two identical strands of DNA. 4.

(You may provide some or all of the materials on your own, but it is preferable to ask the students to secure them individually.) Have each student make up their own DNA molecule with no less than 6 nitrogen bases on one side (any less is too small more than 10 gets too heavy and the model falls). Check their combinations to insure the pairs are matched correctly. Ask them to label the color of gumdrop that represents each nitrogen base in a key. (Example: Red = Adenine, Green = Thymine, Purple = Guanine, Yellow = Cytosine) 2. Pass out paper towels, 2 Popsicle sticks, one Styrofoam base, and a handful or so of mini marshmallows to each student. Ask them to lay their gumdrops out on the paper towel as they intend them to be assembled. When they are done, tell them to assemble their project by securing the Popsicle sticks in to base, use the mini marshmallows as anchors and representatives of the phosphate groups and sugar molecules down the sides, and use the gumdrops as the nitrogen bases in the middle. 3. They usually want to eat their creation (gross hands and all) so evaluate the project as it progresses. You know your students. 1. Review questions 2. Replication Activity Participation 3.

15 APPENDIX B: Genetics: The Code of Life Breeding the Purr-fect Cat Did you know that cats are now more popular than dogs as pets in the United States? Many people adopt homeless cats from animal shelters, and others prefer to buy purebred cats from cat breeders. Two of the most popular kinds of purebred cats are Siamese cats and Persian cats. Both of these breeds are very old. Siamese cats have long, thin bodies. They are short-haired, with dark markings on the face, feet, and tail. Persian cats are longhaired, with short, stocky bodies. In the 1930 s, these two breeds were combined in a series of genetics experiments carried out by scientists at Harvard Medical School. The scientists were trying to find out how certain traits in cats are inherited. The result of their work was a new, artificial breed of cat called the Himalayan. The first Himalayan cat was born in The kitten had long hair like a Persian and the markings of a Siamese. After the birth of the first Himalayan kitten, professional cat breeders took over. In the 1960 s, Himalayans were recognized by groups, such as the Cat Fanciers Association (CFA), that sponsor major cat shows in the United States. Owners of Himalayan cats can thank Gregor Mendel for their pets. Without the science of genetics, these beautiful cats might never have existed. Can you think of any other crosses in the animal kingdom?

A family has four daughters. What is the probability that a fifth child will be a girl? Does the fact that there are already four daughters in the family increase the probability of having another girl? Use a law of genetics to explain.
