Material Detail

Analyzing Pedigrees | In this activity, students interpret several pedigrees of autosomal dominant and recessive conditions and consider the benefits and limitations of genetic testing. Students answer multiple-choice questions about these pedigrees and explain their reasoning. For some questions, the goal is not to get the “right” answer but rather to discuss how pedigrees can be used to make decisions about one’s health. Students can answer questions as a class, in small groups or individually.
