About this activity
A projector breeding garden: the class predicts pea crosses with Punnett squares, grows beds that wobble around the prediction, separates genotype from phenotype, sorts discrete and continuous traits in a field, then selects canola parents over generations.
What students learn
- Use dominant and recessive alleles to explain how two purple-flowered pea plants can produce a white-flowered one
- Represent single-gene crosses with Punnett squares and predict offspring ratios and counts
- Distinguish genotype from phenotype and determine phenotype from a given genotype
- Distinguish discrete from continuous variation by reading a whole field
- Explain artificial selection by choosing parents over generations, separating genetic from environmental variation
