Students provided a trait page with all the traits properly categorized, all allele combinations accurate and reflective of in-depth understanding, and included traits outside of those given in class.
Parent Pages
2 pts

Students are required to generate a separate page for each parent listing each trait, their genotype, and phenotype
Does Not Meet

Students did not provide a separate page for each parent.

or

Students provided a separate page for each parent. Students were unable to provide the proper genotype and/or phenotype for each trait.
Meets

Meets

Students completed all punnet squares properly, color coded the baby square, and listed less than 75% of the required components for each punnet square.
Exceeds

Students completed all punnet squares, color coded the baby square, and provided all the required components for each punnet square with accuracy.
Baby 1st Year (non dominance)
3 pts

Students are required to identify 1 non dominant trait
Does Not Meet

or

Students punnet squares were completed correctly, but students did not properly color code the "baby" square and/or less than 50% of the punnet square analysis components were provided.
Meets

Students completed all punnet squares properly, color coded the baby square, and listed less than 75% of the required components for each punnet square.
Exceeds

Students completed all punnet squares, color coded the baby square, and provided all the required components for each punnet square with accuracy.
Baby 1st Birthday (dihybrid cross)
2 pts

Students are required to identify two true dominant traits and properly generate a dihybrid cross of those traits and provide the genotypic and phenotypic ratios.
Does Not Meet

Students did not complete a punnet square for the dihybrid cross.

or

Students punnet squares were completed correctly, but students did not properly color code the "baby" square and/or less than 50% of the punnet square analysis components were provided.
Meets

Students completed all punnet squares properly, color coded the baby square, and listed less than 75% of the required components for each punnet square.
Exceeds

Students completed all punnet squares, color coded the baby square, and provided all the required components for each punnet square with accuracy.
Family Tree
1 pts

Students are required to properly follow the pattern of inheritance of the chosen sex-linked trait by utilizing and generating a pedigree.
Does Not Meet

Students did not complete a pedigree.

or

Students completed a pedigree that did not follow the proper inheritance pattern and/or was not based on the sex-linked trait provided within the project.
