STUDENT’S PRAYER
( Sign of the Cross )
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for forming us uniquely, making us one-of-a-kind and choosing us
for a purpose. Thank you that you appointed us as modern day disciples to
bear fruit for your kingdom.
In Jesus Name, we pray.
Amen.

E XPLORE
To start the lesson, unlock the words in the form of a puzzle to engage in discovering meaningful
words needed for understanding the concept.
Activity 1. Wordstorm.
Fill in the crossword puzzle.
Be guided by the numbered
rules.
Procedure:
1. Group the students with five members each. Create a group chat for each group.
2. Take note of the pictures of parents and children that were sent to each Group Chat.
3. All the members of each group will observe and list down the observable traits of each pair. the
pictures and match them with their appropriate pair
Process Questions:
1. Did you have a hard time pairing the parents with their children? Why?
2. Were the observable traits of a parent helpful in finding his or her child? Why?
F IRM UP
New technologies in the field of cosmetic surgery has allowed people to alter their physical
appearances. But this alteration is only “skin deep”, as it does not change the individual’s genetic
make up.
Process Questions:
1. What is Incomplete dominance?
Codominance? Multiple alleles?
2. What is a Punnett square?
A firm up activity will be sent to your GENYO accounts. The activity instructions will be given by
your teacher.
Read Information Sheet 3 very well, then find out how much you can remember and how much
have you learned by doing the following activities.
Information Sheet 3.
Non-Mendelian pattern of inheritance
Incomplete dominance is a pattern of inheritance characterized by the
formation of a trait that is in between the phenotypes of the parents. There is
an absence of the expression of the complete dominant allele. It is very common in
the expression of flower color in most plants.
Are you familiar with a pure red-flowered four o’clock plant and a pure white-flowered four o’clock
plant? A cross between the pure red and white-flowered four o’clock plant will produce all pink
flowers. With incomplete dominance, the dominant and recessive traits blend resulting the third
phenotype something in the middle. Follow the steps below on how to solve genetic problems using
Punnett square.
Sample problem:
Show a cross between two pink four o’clock flower using a Punnett square. Determine the genotypic
and phenotypic ratio of the offspring.
Solution:
Step 1: Identify the genotype of the parents.
Heterozygous pink (RW) x Heterozygous pink (RW)
Step 2: Construct the Punnett square and show the possible outcome of the cross.
Codominance
Another non-Mendelian pattern of inheritance is codominance. This happens when the alleles of
same gene are present and both are equally expressed in the phenotype of the offspring.
Have you seen a roan goat? A red goat (RR=all red hairs) is mated with a white goat (WW=all white
hairs) will result to a roan (RW=red and with white hairs).
Follow the steps below on how to solve genetic problems using Punnett square.
Sample problem:
Determine the genotypic and phenotypic ratio of the kids (baby goats) if a white goat is mated with a
roan goat.
Solution:
Multiple Alleles
Alleles are alternative form of a gene that controls a certain trait. Normally, a gene is controlled by
only two alleles but there are genes that have two or more alleles. For example, in human, the ABO
blood type. In this case three alleles are controlling the blood group, wherein blood type A is
codominant with blood type B and blood type O is recessive. The four possible blood types are
shown in Table 3 below.
Based on the table alleles A and B are dominant over O. Blood type O can be expressed as
homozygous, OO. Blood type A and B can be homozygous or heterozygous. In blood type AB both
alleles are codominant with each other.
Sample Problem:
Identify the possible blood types of the offspring if a woman whose blood type is O and married to a
man whose blood type is AB.
Solution:
Step 1: Identify the genotype of the parents.
Blood type AB(AB) x Blood type O(OO)
Step 2: Construct the Punnett square and show the possible outcome of the cross.
Sex-linked Traits
Genes that are present in sex chromosomes are sex-linked traits because the expression depends
on the sex of the person. X-linked genes are genes located on X chromosomes whereas Y-linked
genes are those in Y chromosomes.
An example is hemophilia (bleeder’s disease), a common sex-linked recessive disorder carried by
the genes in the X chromosomes. Study the Table 4 below. Xh is hemophiliac and XH is normal.
D EEPEN
Non-Mendelian pattern of inheritance shows traits that do not follow the simple patterns of dominant-
recessive genes principle.
Procedure:
1. Refer to table below.
2. Write the genotype and phenotype of the offspring when pink flower is crossed to a white flower.
Ratio:
Genotypic Ratio=
Phenotypic Ratio=
Activity 6. Codominance

Procedure:
1. Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the parent goats if the kids (baby goats) are two roan
and two red fur
goats. Write the
genotype of
each kid.
Ratio:
Genotypic Ratio=
Phenotypic Ratio=
