Today we discussed the importance of using pedigrees to trace the inheritance of characteristics through families. These can be useful to determine the risk of inheriting certain genetic diseases or abnormalities.
The mandatory project for this nine weeks, The Pedigree Project, was also assigned. Students were given the story of a fictitious family and were tasked to create a pedigree for them. They will eventually be given a trait to trace through this family and then determine the inheritance pattern for the trait. All information for the project can be found in the Pedigree Project folder under Unit 4.
