Match pictures to correctkingdomUtilize flashcards to divide animals into kingdomsReport on a specific kingdomWhat is heredity?Define heredity and the role DNA plays ininheritance of traitsGenes determine individualtraits/characteristics.Traits are passed from one generation toanother.Each organism is the result of inheritanceof parental genes. Dominant traits areexpressed over recessive.Use a Punnett square to determine chanceof genetic outcomes.Internet resourcesCurrent textbooks andresource bindersStudent worksheetsDemonstrate PunnettsquareInternetVideo clipsMake a collage of living things belonging to aparticular kingdom.Define traits.
