This game is called " Guess the

Gibberish "

Do you have any idea about this

game class?

Of course but let me explain to you

first how to play it. None Ma'am. Can you give
us an example how to play
I will give you a gibberish word
that Ma'am?
( gibberish: unintelligible or
meaningless language; nonsense )
and you have to translate it to a real
word. Do you understand class?

Example:

*my toe sis - Mitosis

*may oh cis - Meiosis

Do you get it now class? Yes Ma'am.

Ok. I'll show you a gibberish word

and you have to open you mic and

about the topic in the video. And

the questions I have here so that you
will have an idea what look in the
video. You can write it if you want.
* Guide Questions:

1. Who is Gregor Mendel? Why Ok Ma'am

Gregor Mendel chose the pea plants
for his

experiment?

2. What did Mendel do in his first

experiment? And in his second
experiment?

3. Based on the video that you have

Yes Ma'am
watched. What tool can you use to
see the probability of an offspring to
inherit a trait?

Are you ready to watch now class?

Alright, let's watch it.

https://youtu.be/Mehz7tCxjSE

Ok. Now let's see if we can answer

the question above. Yes Ma'am.

I have a picture here and tell me if

you know him. Ok?

He is Gregor Mendel Ma'am.

 Ma'am he is the one who
used pea plants for his

his contribution to our topic today?

Yes _________?

Take a look at this table below. It

shows the characteristics of pea
plants. Why do you think he use a
garden pea in his experiment?

Ma'am because it has

different characteristics?

Yes Ma'am. It can grow

easily.
Yes ___________.

Correct. What else? Are you familiar

with pea plants?

Right. Pea plants has a number of

different characteristics and they can
also be easily grown and maintained.
They are naturally self-pollinating
but can also be cross-pollinated. It is
an annual plant; therefore, there are
many generations that Mendel can
be studied within a short period of
time.
He used pure breed green pea
And based on the video what did and pure breed yellow pea.
Mendel do in his first experiment? And the result was they
Yes ___________. produce only yellow peas.
Very good ________. And it was
called Dominant traits meaning the
allele of pure breed yellow seeds is
stronger than the green pea.
Dominant trait are always
represented by capital letter.. Let's
go back to the picture shown about
the characteristics of peas. The upper
part was the dominant traits. As you
can see a while ago in the video the
pure breed yellow peas completely
dominated the green pure breed pea. The video says that he uses
heterozygous peas Ma'am
What about the second experiment? and the result was he got 3
______ what do you think? yellow seed and 1 green seed.
And he call it the Recessive
trait Ma'am.

Yes. Heterozygous refers to having

inherited different forms of a
particular gene from each parent. It
is a combination of dominant and
recessive alleles. It may not shown
physically but it's in your DNA.

Now class listen to this, Dominant

and recessive traits exist when a trait
has two different forms at the gene
level. The trait that first appears or is
visibly expressed in the organism is
called the dominant trait. The trait
that is present at the gene level but is
masked and does not show itself in Yes Ma'am.
the organism is called the recessive
trait. Understand class?

The video also mention about Yes Ma'am

Genotype and Phenotype, right
class?

Now can someone explain to me

what is Genotype and Phenotype Ma'am from what I
based on what you understand in the understand the Genotype is
video. from genes? And the
Yes ________. Phenotype is what you see
physically.

Right. Genotypes is the combination

of alleles that you have. For
example, your genotype can be
Homozygous dominant,
Yes Ma'am.
Heterozygous dominant or
homozygous recessive.

Do you have someone with you right

now?

Great. Now I want you to look at Ma'am my brother's

them and give their phenotype. phenotype is he is tall, has
brown complexion and he
Yes ________. has curly hair Ma'am.

Ma'am she has fair

complexion and she is short.
Very good _________. What about
you ________, can you give me the
phenotype of your Mother?

Thank you ________. Genotype is

the genetic makeup of an individual
organism while the Phenotype

consists of the observable

characteristics of an organism.
Phenotype is easy to see while
Genotype is not. Take a look at this.

Did the video mention anything

about a tool or diagram that they can

Yes Ma'am

Punnet Square Ma'am.

use to see the probability of an

offspring to inherit a trait?

Ok _______, what is it?

Right, Punnet Square. And this an

example of a Punnet Square.

This is the steps on how to solve a

punnet square.

1. Determine the genotypes (letters)

of the parents. Bb x Bb

2. Set up the punnet square with one

 parent on each side.

3. Fill out the Punnet square middle

4. Analyze the number of offspring

of each type

Let's watch this first and then we

will do a sample problem after.

C. Discussing new Ok, let's practice what we have

concepts and practicing watched.
new skills
So here's the sample problem. You
EXPLAIN ready class?

Problem: Yes Ma'am.

Both parent plants are heterozygous

(Ss) for an allele that determine seed
shape. Presence of the dominant
allele (S) in homozygous (SS) or
heterozygous (s) plants results in
spherical seed. Homozygous
recessive (ss) has dented seed.

Ok so both parent are heterozygous

which means they different have
alleles.

Yes Ma'am.
Now, class let's do it step by step. I
have the blank punnet square
diagram here and you will tell what
to put first inside the box. Ok?

Ok. To choose who will answer first Ma'am put the parent 1 on the
we will use this random name left side of the box and the
selector ( an app ). Let's start. parent 2 at the top of the
Ok _______ what do you think we diagram.

should put first?

Very good _______.

Next ________. Put the parent 1 in each

square Ma'am.

Ma'am put those allele from

the parent 2 in each square
Ma'am.
Like this. Very good ________. Ok
next, __________.

There you go. Very good class. We

now have the completed the
information for the possible outcome
of the cross. Now let's interpret it.

Let's say each box has 25%.

There are 25% of homozygous

dominant.

50% heterozygous
 And 25% homozygous recessive.

Now the conclusion would be a

1:2:1 genotype ratio with 25%
homozygous dominant ( SS ), 50%
heterozygous ( Ss ) and 25%
homozygous recessive ( ss ).

The phenotype ratio would be 3:1

with ( 50% + 25% ) 75% spherical
seed and 25% dented.

D. Finding practical Class do you have any idea why we

applications of concepts have to recognize the importance of
and skills in daily living hereditary or genetics in human
health?
ELABORATE
Why we have to know what we
inherit from our parents or why we
have to understand what trait we
have.

Yes _________
For us to know Ma'am if we
Yes. Another? _______ any idea? are healthy or sick?
Why knowing our hereditary is
important in our health?
Ma'am for us to know if we
have allergics or inherited
Ok. Both of your answer are correct. disease.

Genetic factors are important in

determining individual susceptibility
to allergic disease. For example, My
Lolo has an allergic to any food na
malalansa. His whole body itched
whenever he ates food na malalansa.
No one in his children inherited that
allergy from him but my cousin did.
That's why when he first experience
the allergic attack we were able to
tend him because we are doing it to
our grandfather too.

Understanding how inherited genetic

factors contribute to individual
susceptibility, severity and response
to treatment in allergic disease.

That's why knowing our hereditary

plays a big role in human health. But
it's not just about allergies it's more
than that.

Let's watch this.

https://youtu.be/UC-YwiB_FFg

Are you familiar with diseases that

have been mentioned in the video?

Right. As mentioned in the video we

can inherit from our mother or father
depends on whose allele are more
dominant."Think and Share"

Now, I want you to think a specific No Ma'am. But the six finger

What about you _________.

Thank you _______. I think work. He is good in

become successful.
Do you have question class?

Are you sure?

I got my mother's eye color

it to be dominant because it
looks beautiful.

Yes Ma'am.
