Adaptations

Page 10

This is the worksheet and this is the powerpoint.

Instructions for the worksheet
The first section is a definition.  Copy it over from the powerpoint.

The next section is a chart. 
In the first column you put the name of the animal. 
The second column you need to list the adaptations - the first three are identified for you; the fourth you must identify on your own. 
The third column is for your predictions.  For each adaptation you need to make a guess as to why this animal has it (it need not be correct - just plausible).

The bottom section is for the other adaptations listed.  Write down each adaptation and a reason why it would be beneficial.

The back has its own directions.  There are pictures on the powerpoint if you are unsure what each environment is.

This one a lot like page 8.  If you understand it, you should have no trouble following the directions to complete this worksheet.

Hair Genetics

Page 8

Make sure you follow all the directions on this page!  These are the things I will be looking for -

1.  The parents' genes should be set up appropriately along the top and down the left side.

2. The inside of the square should be filled in with the correct genes.

3. Calculate the percentages of the brown & red hair phenotypes.
