Project Title: Genetics and Evolution Study
Objective: Solve inheritance problems and summarize evolution evidence.
Project Instructions:
- 1. Complete one monohybrid cross using a Punnett square.
- 2. Explain Mendel's laws using your example.
- 3. Describe one example of variation or mutation.
- 4. List two evidence types for evolution and explain one.
- 5. Consult your coach where necessary.
Evidence to Submit:
- • Punnett square and explanation.
- • Variation or mutation example.
- • Evolution evidence notes.
Submission
Part C: Training Others
Teach a peer about inheritance and evolution.
Guidance:
- • Explain a monohybrid cross step-by-step.
- • Discuss Mendel's laws with an example.
- • Share one evidence of evolution.
Reflection:
- • What did the learner understand well?
- • What needed more explanation?
- • What support do you need from your coach?
Submission
