Pedigrees Amoeba Sisters Handout

This Pedigrees Amoeba Sisters handout was designed to accompany the Pedigrees video made by the Amoeba Sisters on YouTube.

In this video, students will explore how pedigrees are used to track traits across generations, what the symbols and shading represent, how to determine genotypes for autosomal recessive and sex-linked traits, and how pedigrees help predict carriers and affected offspring.

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

Pedigrees Amoeba Sisters Handout Topics:

• Introduction to pedigrees and how they represent inherited traits
• Symbols, shading, and generation numbering used in pedigree charts
• Tracking autosomal recessive traits and identifying carriers
• Comparing autosomal recessive pedigrees with sex-linked pedigrees
• Real-world importance of pedigrees in understanding genetic disorders

This is a two-page handout available in PDF and Google Slides. The first page includes a prior knowledge “hook” activity and multiple choice questions that follow the sequence of the video. The second page includes an independent practice activity and optional extension activity.
