1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.
2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to
4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.
1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.
2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.
3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!
4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.
Question | Answer |
| 1. individuals that travel between 2 populations and reproduce in both is preventing isolation of a population. This is called | gene flow | 2. all of the genes, and different alleles in a population | gene pool | 3. the number of times an allele occurs in a gene pool | allele frequency | 4. list the 3 sources of genetic variation | mutation,genetic recombination, and lateral gene transfer | 5. a trait controlled by 2 or more genes | polygenic trait | 6. the passing of genes from one organism to another that is not its offspring | lateral gene transfer | 7. What determines the number of phenotypes produced for a trait? | the number of genes controlling the traits | 8. any change in the genetic material | mutation | 9. Give 2 examples of genetic recombination in sexual reproduction | crossing over, independent assortment | 10. a typical bell shaped curve is typical of polygenic traits. The curve is also called | normal distribution | 11. individuals at one end of a phenotypic curve have higher fitness that individuals in the middle or at the other end | directional selection | 12. individuals near the center of the curve have higher fitness than individuals at either end | stabilizing selection | 13. individuals at the outer ends of a phenotypic curve have higher fitness than those near the middle of the curve | disruptive selection | 14. a random change in allele frequency | genetic drift | 15. allele frequency changes that result from the migration of a small subgroup | founder effect | 16. a dramatic reduction in population size that affects allele frequency | bottleneck effect | 17. allele frequencies of a population are not changing so the population is said to be in | genetic equilibrium | 18. What is the symbol in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium that represents the frequency of the recessive allele in a gene pool? | q | 19. what is the symbol that represents the homozygous dominant individuals in a population? | p2 | 20. the formation of a new species is called | speciation | 21. 2 populations that no longer interbreed by choice, or geography, the are said to be | reproductively isolated | 22. using different songs to attract mates between 2 species is an example of | behavioral isolation | 23. temporal, behavioral, gametic, mechanical, and habitat isolation are all examples of | prezygotic barriers | 24. cross fertilization between 2 flowering plants that won't occur because one blooms mid morning while the other blooms in the evening | temporal isolation | 25. hybrid viability, hybrid sterility and hybrid breakdown are all examples of | post zygotic barriers |
