This activity can take 3-4 weeks. Some outside of class time.
Day 1 - Part A and Part B
Each team is assigned a monohybrid cross or a dihybrid cross or a sex-linked cross.
All teams observe "Wild type" (Table 1) and assigned "type"(Table 2). Morgue your assigned adults (P) after observation.
Day 2 - Do Optional Exercise "Polytene Chromosome" using Wild type flys.
Day 3 - As adults (F1) emerge observe sex and mutations and place in Table 3. This will probably be several days after the parental adults were morgued.

Upon completion of AP Biology the student will be able to understand advanced concepts associated with molecules and cells, genetics and evolution, and organisms and populations. They will correlate the conceptual information with the major theme of life. In addition, students will improve upon their laboratory skills, while gaining an understanding of scientific methodology/technology as well as the practical, social and environmental applications of biology.
