Stage 1 - Desired Results: Students Will Understand That

This lesson plan outlines a 9th grade science unit on non-Mendelian inheritance focusing on multiple allelism and codominance as exhibited in human blood types, with the goal being for students to understand and analyze inheritance patterns involving more than two alleles or phenotypes; students will learn concepts through direct instruction, group activities solving inheritance problems using Punnett squares, and connecting ideas in a concept map; they will also consider the implications of shared genetic inheritance and complete an assignment researching multiple genes.

UbD-based Lesson Plan

Title of Unit: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation


Topic: Non-Mendelian Inheritance – Multiple Allelism and Codominance Grade Level: 9
Subject Area: Science Time Frame: 1 day
Designed by: Karen L. Apostol

Stage 1 – Desired Results

Established Goal:
4. Explain the different pattern of Non-Mendelian inheritance.
4.1. Infer the certain traits do not always follow the Mendelian principles of heredity.

Understandings:
Students will understand that…
Essential Questions: ?
1. Why are there inherited traits which are expressed in more
than two forms (phenotypes)?
1. multiple allelism is a condition where more than two 2. What explains the coinciding expression or appearance of
alleles control a single trait, resulting to a greater variety of two phenotypes for a single trait in an individual?
phenotypes for the trait; 3. How are multiple allelism and codominance exhibited in
2. codominance may result from multiple allelism, where the inheritance of blood types in humans?
neither of two alleles is dominant over the other; this, in
turn, results to the expression (or appearance) of the two
phenotypes influenced by the two alleles; and
3. inheritance of the ABO blood types in humans exhibit both

in the inheritance of a trait which does not follow the
Mendelian pattern (i.e., inheritance of ABO blood types);
and,
3. Possible combinations of three alleles (i.e., IA, IB and
i) resulting to different blood group genotypes and
phenotypes.

Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence

Performance Task: Other Evidence:


T OE
1. Observations
2. Question and answer
3. Case analysis (by group)
Goal – To prove before a court as to whether Juan Manuel is a 4. Research
long-lost son of Don Manny, a prominent billionaire
who recently died.
Role – Lawyer of Rosalinda and Mercedes
Don Manny’s two acknowledged children
Audience – Court Judge

Situation or context of scenario – Court hearing

Product for evaluation – Case narrative defending your conclusion


as a lawyer, supported by Punnett squares.

Standards for evaluation – Rubric will be provided.

Stage 3 – Learning Plan

Introduction:

Think-Pair-Share: Students will read a news article about the death of woman due to wrong blood transfusion. By pair, the
students will share their answers to two questions related to the article read.
Interaction:

 Through direct instruction, students w i l l be introduced to the concepts of “multiple allelism” and “codominance”.
 The teacher will lead the students to the idea that the inheritance of the ABO blood types in humans is an example of
multiple allelism and obeys the codominance pattern of inheritance.
 Students will be taught how to solve problems on multiple allelism and codominance involving the inheritance of blood
types using Punnett squares.
 Group Activity: “Blood Lineage” - Students will be divided into three groups. Each group will be asked to solve a case
about blood type identification of famous celebrities.

Integration:

Students will complete a concept map to link the knowledge and ideas learned from the lesson.

Values Integration:

Students will be asked to suggest the implication(s) of the following line: “We are

one family…the same blood runs through our veins…”

Assignment / Homework

In a short bond paper, research about Multiple Genes. It could be handwritten or computerized. If computerized use Times New
Roman, 12, single spacing format.
Closure Statement:

Multiple allelism and codominance are closely linked patterns of inheritance which do not obey Mendelian laws; these patterns are
observed in the inheritance of the ABO blood types in humans.
