Description
- Overview:
- This fact sheet is a supplemental resource to be used in conjunction with the lesson "Am I a Carrier for Cystic Fibrosis?" After completing this lesson, students will have a better grasp of genetic terminology such as genotype, phenotype, carrier, homozygous, heterozygous, autosomal, dominant, and recessive. Students will also become more competent in using Punnett squares to predict traits in offspring (cystic fibrosis (CF) status in this case). Finally, after experiencing the difficulty of making a genetic decision, students will become more aware of the complexity of such bioethical decision making.
