Herencia: Which traits are beneficial and can be carried on to offspring? In teams work on Variation in the Human Face.
Northern Elephant seals', Miroungas, large size keeps them warm in the North Pacific and this allows mothers to breed sooner. The North Atlantic salmon, Salmo, are smaller and faster in the wild and know the route to their mating grounds . Killer whales, Orcinus, teach and learn hunting behaviors in groups.
Watch the video on Khan Academy's Introduction to Heredity. Then, try the Introduction to Genetics activity in class:

Think of other traits which benefit animals, especially marine animals. How can we reduce or increase the number of traits available to inherit? Read the following stories for some ideas:

The cone snail, found in tropical waters, is the only gastropod known to be deadly to man. These snails create different toxins according to their genetic coding. We use these codes as recipes to create the same toxins for medicinal purposes. The following is a list of cone snail toxins found, all which are currently being tested.
Genetic Disorders Project
Driving Question:
Does anyone, other than yourself, have the right to know about or use your genetic information in any way, with or without your permission?
Objectives: Understand how genetic information is expressed phenotypically and how this information gets transferred from parent to child.
1. Face Lab Day 1- Determine the traits of your offspring's face and sketch it.
We will do the analysis/conclusion questions later, once we know a little more about genetics.
(Alternative to the Face Lab: Follow this activity to build your own marine dragon.)
2. Genetic Technology Concerns
Essay Prompt:
Students should write about their concerns with how genetic technology is being used today. In this excerpt, be sure to use seven vocabulary words from Ch 8 & 9 correctly. Submit your essay in a slide here.
