Create your own Dihybrid Cross. Just like last week, this will require you to give both an internet and written response.
ONLINE:
-Choose two traits to follow and give description of both traits (which is dominant/recessive, etc)
-Create a genetic cross for these 2 traits (dihybrid).
- Give phenotypic ratios that would result from your cross.
WRITTEN:
-Show your work: 16 box dihybrid punnett
I will be checking to make sure everyone has created a unique problem!

This week's blogspot requires both an internet entry (to be entered by Thursday 3/18 night as always) and a written response (to be handed in on Friday 3/19). Describe a family as your blog response and draw the corresponding pedigree on unlined paper.
For your Blog entry:
-Identify the trait/disease you are focusing on.
- Classify your trait/disease as autosomal or sex-linked and dominant or recessive
- Describe three generations of the family (use examples from class and your homework to help you or an example from you own family!).
For your Pedigree:
- Draw on unlined paper.
- Be sure all shapes and line are correct and you shade in the appropriate people.
Next week you will be required to draw someone else's family Pedigree so make sure your family description is easy to follow! I encourage you to use something from your own family...if you're unsure about the history of a certain trait, ask your parents for help or give your grandparents a call- I am sure they would love to hear from you! :)

Choose a genetic disease and give the following information:
- Inheritance: autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant or sex-linked
- Symptoms and characteristics common to the disease
- Treatments
- Frequency of occurance in our population
- Is it more common in one culture group compared to others?
- Identify one support group families affected by this disease can go (ex. American Heart Assoc.)
One disease per person so please check other responses before submitting your own!
