🧬 Homework Assignment: Pedigrees, Probability & AI Power!

🎯 Learning Objectives:
 Understand and analyze pedigree charts
 Use AI tools to support scientific reasoning
 Apply math (probability) to genetic inheritance
 Explore how technology enhances biological studies

📘 Part 1: What Is a Pedigree? (Learn + Watch)

🖥 Step 1: Watch this video to learn how pedigrees work:


▶️ YouTube Video (7 min)
🔗 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO4NXhWo_NM
Write down:
1. What do circles and squares represent?
2. What does a shaded shape mean?
3. How do you know if a trait is dominant or recessive?
📊 Part 2: Explore with AI and Tech Tools

🧬 Step 2: Use AI to Analyse a Pedigree Chart

👉 Use a chatbot like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or Bing Copilot.

📝 Prompt to type into the AI tool:


"Analyse this pedigree chart. Is the trait dominant or recessive? Who are the
carriers? What's the probability the child will have the trait?"
(Then upload or describe the chart provided below.)

📎 Pedigree Chart Image (Choose one):

 🧬 Chart A: Basic 3-generation family

(Open and download this for reference.)

🖼️ Or use this generator if you want to create your own:


🔗 Pedigree Chart Creator:

📄 Your Task:
 Ask the AI to analyse the chart
 Summarize its explanation in your own words:
o Is it dominant or recessive?
o Who are the carriers?
o What’s your conclusion?
📐 Part 3: Math & Probability – Show the Numbers

✍️ Step 3: Calculate Genetic Probability


Use this example scenario:
"Both parents are carriers (Aa x Aa) of a recessive gene for a genetic
disorder."

🧬 Use a Punnett Square (can draw or use online).

💡 Online Punnett Square Tool:

Take Screenshot of the work

🎯 Questions:
1. What's the chance their child will:
o Have the disorder (aa)?
o Be a carrier (Aa)?
o Be unaffected (AA)?
2. Upload or draw the Punnett square.
3. Use math to explain your answers as percentages.

🧬 Make Your Own Pedigree!


Use the Utah Genetics site to create a pedigree chart for a fictional family
where:
 Some members have attached earlobes (recessive trait).
 Others do not.

Then, use AI to analyse the pattern!

🧬 Tips for AI Use:


If your AI tool replies in too complex words, type:
“Can you explain that in simpler terms for 8th grade?”
or
“Make it more kid-friendly.”
