Alleles and Genes Amoeba Sisters Handout

This Alleles and Genes Amoeba Sisters handout worksheet is designed to accompany the Alleles and Genes video made by the Amoeba Sisters on YouTube.

In this activity, students will explore how genes are located on chromosomes, how alleles combine to form genotypes, how dominant and recessive traits are expressed as phenotypes, and how Punnett squares can be used to predict inheritance patterns.

This is not your average video worksheet!

My worksheets are designed to include:

• An anticipation activity to access prior knowledge and spark engagement
• Multiple choice questions in order of the video (not too slow or too fast)
• An independent activity for student practice after the video
• A fun extension activity
