Introduction to Genetics | Genetics – Definition: Heredity and Variation Fields of Genetics: Fundamental Concepts: |  GENETICS – CROSSWORD PUZZLE (pdf)
| GENETICS – CROSSWORD PUZZLE Genetics: the study of the patterns of inheritance of specific traits, relating to genes and genetic information. Print this worksheet to expand the student’s vocabulary on the common concepts and terms used in genetics. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
 GENETICS BASIC CONCEPTS – QUIZ (pdf) | GENETICS BASIC CONCEPTS – QUIZ This quiz will help you assess the student’s understanding of the various fundamental concepts and principles in genetics. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution | ||
 CELL – LABEL THE PARTS (pdf) | CELL – LABEL THE PARTS This worksheet is useful in helping the students assess their familiarity with the different parts of the cell, both the eukaryotic and the prokaryotic types. This is useful in genetics as it helps gauge the student’s knowledge of the difference between the two cell types, especially in terms of the location of the genetic material. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution | ||
Chromosomal Basis of Heredity | Cell Division: Meiosis |  MEIOSIS STAGES – DRAW THE CHROMOSOMES (pdf) | MEIOSIS STAGES – DRAW THE CHROMOSOMES An artistic way to learn about meiosis! Print this worksheet to draw the homologous chromosomes in the different stages of meiosis — from prophase I to telophase II. This will help the students master the highlights of each meiotic stage. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
| Independent Assortment and Crossing Over |  CROSSING OVER AND INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT – QUIZ (pdf) | CROSSING OVER & INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT – QUIZ Use this to evaluate the student’s familiarity with the core concepts in crossing over and independent assortment. It has two sections. The first is a fill-in-the-gaps test about crossing over and the second is a matching type about Mendelian Law of Independent Assortment. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution | |
Gene Segregation and Interaction | Inheritance and Probability – Mendel’s contribution to genetics Gregor Mendel: bio and history |  GREGOR MENDEL AND INHERITANCE WORKSHEET (pdf) | GREGOR MENDEL & INHERITANCE WORKSHEET This two-paged worksheet can be used to probe the student’s understanding of Gregor Mendel’s experiments on inheritance. This worksheet includes arranging text block and flowchart order, multiple choice, and Punnett Square exercises. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
Mendelian Inheritance | Mendel’s Law & Mendelian Genetics |  GREGOR MENDELS PRINCIPLES OF HEREDITY – QUIZ (pdf) | MENDEL’S PRINCIPLES OF HEREDITY – QUIZ Print this quiz for your students to answer. The first part is a recall of Gregor Mendel’s principles of heredity. The second part is a multiple-choice test about alleles and sex chromosomes. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
Non-Mendelian Inheritance | Non-Mendelian Inheritance |  NON-MENDELIAN INHERITANCE WORKSHEET (pdf) | NON-MENDELIAN INHERITANCE WORKSHEET This worksheet will test the student’s aptitude on Non-Mendelian inheritance. The first part will test the student’s comprehension of complete dominance, incomplete dominance, and codominance. The second part is a practice on logical relations between incomplete dominance and codominance through a Venn diagram. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
Mutations | Chromosome Mutations – part I Chromosome Mutations – part II |  CHROMOSOMAL MUTATION MATCH-UP ACTIVITY (pdf) | CHROMOSOMAL MUTATION MATCH-UP ACTIVITY A critical-thinking match-up activity on chromosomal mutation! This matching-type test is useful in tracking the student’s skills in recognizing the different kinds of chromosomal mutations. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
| Genetic Mutations |  GENETIC MUTATIONS – MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE (pdf) | GENETIC MUTATIONS – MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE A modified true-or-false quiz meant to test the students’ comprehension of the principles and vocabulary in genetic mutations. Apart from identifying which items are correct and incorrect, the students also have to correct the false statements. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution | |
Polyploidy | Polyploidy Tutorial (Definition & Examples) |  POLYPLOIDY – CRYPTOGRAM (pdf) | POLYPLOIDY – CRYPTOGRAM A fun activity on polyploidy! Print this cryptogram and find out who will be the first to solve the puzzle by translating the numbers back to letters. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
Natural Selection | Darwin and Natural Selection |  NATURAL SELECTION – TRUE OR FALSE (pdf) | NATURAL SELECTION – TRUE OR FALSE A true-or-false quiz to test the grasp of the underlying concepts and ideas on natural selection. Evaluate your student’s understanding of Charles Darwin’s theory and examples of natural selection. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
Adaptive Radiation | Adaptive Radiation tutorial and definition |  | ADAPTIVE RADIATION QUIZ A two-paged questionnaire on adaptive radiation. The first page is a multiple choice and the second page is diagram analysis. This is meant to assess the comprehension of adaptive radiation while enhancing critical thinking skills. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
Population Genetics | The Gene Pool and Population Genetics |  POPULATION GENETICS – MATCH-UP (pdf) | POPULATION GENETICS – MATCH-UP ACTIVITY A practice worksheet to help students become familiar with the different terms and concepts in population genetics. One approach is to answer this worksheet during an advance reading or while doing vocabulary research. Subjects: Genetics & Evolution |
Biotechnology | Selective Breeding |  SELECTIVE BREEDING – QUIZ (pdf) | SELECTIVE BREEDING – QUIZ This quiz is meant to test the students’ understanding of selective breeding. The first part is identifying the correct ideas that will complete the text.
