everything. This is all I pray in
Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

2. Customary Greetings

Goodmorning, class.
Goodmorning, ma’am.
How are you today? Are you
feeling good?
Yes, ma’am.
Okay, nice to hear . Before you
take your seats kindly pick up
scattered trash around you so
that our classroom is clean. And
if you are done please be seated.

3. Checking of Attendance

Is anyone absent today?

None, ma’am.
That’s great! Before we go on, I
want to introduce our classroom
rules. All you have to do is be
SMART. Kindly read, Sabi.

S-Say please and thank you

M-Make friends and be

thoughtful

A-Arrive on time, be prepared

and ready to learn

R-Respect yourself and each

other

T-Try your best

Again, what are you going to do
when we are inside the class?

Be SMART.

Very good!
B. Establishing a
purpose for the I think, you are ready for our next
lesson
topic. Before that, I have prepared a
short activity entitled
“PICTOWORD”

Are you familiar with this

game ,class? Yes, ma’am.

Okay, let’s begin.

Genetics ma’am.

Very good!

Phenotype, ma’am.

Amazing!

Genes, ma’am.

Wow!

Genes, ma’am.

Very good, class! Your activity

has something to do with your
lesson for today . Are you ready,
class? Yes ma’am we are ready.
C. Presenting examples/ Do you know what plants is this,
instances of the new
lesson class?

You’re right! Who wants to tell

me what you noticed in the I think, it’s garden Pea plant
picture? ma’am.

Excellent! Anyone else notice

Explore

anything about their color? Yes,

Ana. Base on the picture, they are
small and roundish ma’am.

Very good!
I noticed that they’re all green
ma’am.
Gregor Mendel chose this plant
to be used in conducting his
experiment. Mendel studied the
pattern of inheritance using
graden pea that led us to the
study of Genetics.
D. Discussing new Who is Gregor Mendel, class? Gregor Mendel is the Father of
concepts & practicing
new skills #1 Yes, Pia. Genetics ma’am.

Very good. Kindly read what is

written on the slides, Cari.

Gregor Mendel, an Austrian

scientist from the 19th century,
is often referred to as the father
of genetics. His groundbreaking
experiments with pea plants laid
the foundation for the modern
understanding of heredity and
the role of genes in determining
inherited traits.
Thank you, Cari. He was
interested in investigating how
individual traits were inherited.
He wanted to find out wheter
both parents contributed equally
to the traits of the off spring. Do
you understand class?
Yes, ma’am.

But before that, do you have any

idea what is genetics, class?

I have an idea, ma’am. I think

it’s the study of heredity.
Very good. Kindly read, Ashley.

Genetics is the study of genes,

heredity, and variation in living
organisms. It examines how
traits are passed from one
generation to the next and how
those traits can change over
Thank you, Ashley. It means time.
class, that genetics studies how
traits are inherited and how they
change across generations.

How about heredity class?

Heredity is the transmission of

traits from one generation to
Exactly! It’s how traits get another.
passed from parents to their
children.

And lastly, what do you about

E. Discussing new I think you are ready for your
concepts & practicing
new skills #2 activity.

Instruction:
Solve and predict Mendelian
phenotypic and genotypic
expressions of traits in a
monohybrid cross using punnet
square.

Problem 1

In pea plants, tall (T) is

dominant to short (t). A
heterozygous tall plant (Tt) is
crossed with another
heterozygous tall plant (Tt).

- a) What are the possible

genotypes of the offspring (F1
generation)?

- b) What are the possible

phenotypes of the offspring (F1
generation), and what are their
ratios?

Problem 2

In rabbits, brown fur (B) is

dominant to white fur (b). Two
heterozygous brown rabbits (Bb)
are crossed.

- a) What are the possible

genotypes of their offspring?

- b) What are the possible

phenotypes of their offspring,
and what are their ratios
F. Developing mastery E Alright class, let's quickly
x
p review what we learned about
la Mendelian Genetics.
i
n Who is the father of genetics
again class? The Father of Genetics is Gregor
Mendel

What is the difference between

dominant and recessive?
Dominant alleles express their
trait even with one copy, while
recessive alleles need two copies
to show.
What are the three Mendel's laws
of inheritance? Law of Dominance
Law of Segregation
Law of Segregation

What is the law of dominance?

Law of Dominance: One allele
(dominant) masks the effect of
another (recessive).
What is the law of segregation?
Law of Segregation: Allele pairs
separate during gamete
formation.
And lastly, what is law of
Independent Assortment?
Law of Independent Assortment:
Alleles for different traits are
inherited independently.
Very good, class!
G. Finding practical How does Mendelian
applications of
concepts and skills in inheritance help us understand
daily living why family members share It shows that some traits are
similar traits? dominant, meaning they're more
likely to show up, while others
are recessive and only appear if
both parents pass on the gene for
that trait.

Excellent!

Give an example of how

Mendelian inheritance is used in
agriculture or medicine.
Farmers use Mendelian
inheritance to breed plants or
animals with better traits, like
bigger fruits or disease
resistance. They select parents
with the best genes and breed
them together.

Doctors use Mendelian

inheritance to understand how
genetic diseases are passed down
Elaborate

in families.

Why is it important to
understand Mendelian It helps us understand how traits
inheritance? are passed down, which is
important for family planning
and understanding our own
health risks.
Very good!
H. Making
generalizations and
abstraction Mendelian genetics demonstrates
that inheritance is predictable
and follows specific patterns.
Traits are determined by pairs of
alleles, one from each parent.
The interaction of these alleles
(dominant and recessive)
determines the phenotype. The
principles of segregation and
independent assortment explain
how these alleles are passed on
to offspring in a statistically
predictable manner.
I. Evaluating Learning Intruction:
Take a ¼ sheet of paper. For
each statement below, write
DOMINANT if the statement is
correct and recessive if it is
incorrect. Answer Key:

1. A pair of factors controls the

appearance of a trait. DOMINANT

2. According to Mendel's
experiments, both genes in a pair recessive (One gene is dominant,
are always dominant. the other is recessive.)
Evaluate

3 .he Law of Segregation states

that different pairs of genes
separate independently during recessive (That's the Law of
meiosis. Independent Assortment.)

4.Pairs of genes separate during

gamete formation.
DOMINANT
5. Offspring inherit 100% of
their characteristics from their
father only.
recessive (Offspring inherit
characteristics from both
parents.)

J. Additional activities for Assignment:

application and remediation
Solve a Dihybrid cross using
punnet square.

Problem:

In garden peas, tall plants (T) are

dominant to short plants (t), and
yellow seeds (Y) are dominant to
green seeds (y). A plant
heterozygous for both traits (TtYy) is
self-pollinated.

a) What are the possible

genotypes and phenotypes of the
offspring?

Do you have any questions or

clarifications regarding your
assignment?

Thank you, and God bless None, ma’am.

everyone!
 Good bye, class.

Good bye, ma’am
