Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

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

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.

B. The lesson:

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!

C. TIPS / OTHER IDEAS

4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.

Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question

Answer

1. What is the cell division process that creates reproductive cells?Meiosis
2. What is the cell division process that repairs body cells?Mitosis
3. What does DNA stand for?Dioxynucleic Acid
4. How many chromosomes are in a human body cell?46
5. How many chromosomes are in a human reproductive cell?23
6. Offspring receive how much of their genotype from EACH parent?50% or 1/2
7. If someone inherits the recessive version of a gene (allele) from EACH parent will the phenotype be the dominant version? Why or Why not?No, they would have to inherit at least 1 dominant version from one of the parents.
8. Write out an example of the following genotypes: Homozygous Dominant, Homozygous Recessive, Heterozygous Dominant HH, hh Hh
9. What is the difference between Incomplete Dominance and Codominance?Incomplete dominance means the dominant traits are blended together; Codominance means that BOTH traits are expressed.
10. What is the difference between a genotype and phenotype?Genotype is the 2 letter code; phenotype is the description of the visible trait.
11. What is an example of a trait that has multiple alleles?AWV - blood
12. What are some other traits that Mendel kept records of when he was experimenting with pea plants?AWV
13. What is Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment?Genes are inherited on random basis; the inheritance of one trait does not influence that inheritance of another trait.
14. Construct a Punnett Square problem for a trait of your choosing. Solve it and identify the parent genotype and phenotype, the possible offspring genotypes and phenotypes and the probabilities for each.AWV
15. Construct a Punnett Square problem for a complex trait that is a multi-gene trait of your choosing. (More than 2 letters represent the genotype for the trait.) Solve it and identify the parent genotype and phenotype, the possible offspring genotypes and phenotypes and the probabilities for each.You might have to research and think about this for a bit ....AWV
