Drake Anatomy
Label the parts of the drake as you learn about them and record what you learn about genes that control each trait. As you progress through the game, you may have to draw some additional traits onto the picture, or sketch them in the blank space below it. ©The Concord Consortium Geniverse Project
Case 1: Student Organizer Use this sheet to record your work and findings from Case #1.
Playground
1. In the table below: a. Record the symbol for male and female drakes. b. Describe differences you notice between male and female drakes. Male Female Symbol Differences between male and female drakes 2. One trait at a time, starting with the metallic trait at the top of the chromosomes, list the possible allele combinations you can make with its two pull-­‐down menus. In the last column, give the appearance of the drake for each combination you list. Use the table below to organize your thinking. An example is done for you. Trait Possible Allele Combinations Appearance of Drake Metallic -­ Metallic Drake is Steel (metallic) Metallic Wings Forelimbs Hind limbs ©The Concord Consortium Geniverse Project
Case 1: Student Organizer Challenge 1: [Title]
You have been given a target drake that you have to match by changing the pull-­‐
down menus and possibly the sex. Refer to the table on page one to help solve this challenge. 1. Check the traits the target drake has 2. Write in the alleles as they were set on the left: on the right side. Trait Yes No Is metallic Has wings Has forelimbs Has hind limbs 3. Describe what you did to match the target. Challenge 2: [Title]
Now you will need to match a series of three target drakes. Use this space to describe how well you did, what worked and what didn’t work. Refer to the table on page one to help solve this challenge. ©The Concord Consortium Geniverse Project
