Help your students build real understanding of pedigrees and family trees through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about living systems.
Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "What is the purpose of shading in pedigree charts?", "Which of the following is true about mitochondrial inheritance?", and "In a pedigree chart, a filled circle represents which of the following?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
This set is part of a complete NGSS aligned biology unit. The unit also covers Introduction to Heredity and Traits, DNA The Molecule of Life, Gregor Mendel Father of Genetics, Genes, Chromosomes, and Alleles, Understanding Punnett Squares, and Complex Patterns of Inheritance, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 biology classes, and for NGSS aligned review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-LS3-2.
