SESAME STREET GENETICS ACTIVITY Introduction: It is an exciting time for geneticists as they have just discovered the genome for Sesamus muppetis (sesame street characters). They have determined t ... hat Sesame Street characters have six chromosomes. On these chromosomes they have found specific locations of the following genes: eye shape, nose color, lip color, body color, hair type, blood type and certain genetic disorders. Due to your expertise in the genetics area they have hired you as their apprentice to finish the job. Your Job as a Genetic Apprentice You were hired as an apprentice to the geneticists. Your task: 1) Research traits of specific Sesame Street characters and identify their genotypes and matching phenotypes. 2) “Mate” two Sesame Street characters and determine the probability of their monster children’s traits using punnett squares. 3) Create two new Sesame Street children using your punnett square probability and fill out a monster profile for each. 4) Draw your Sesame Street family portrait and present to class, including a list of family members, genetic make-up and monster profile of children. CHECKLIST Your performance will be assessed based on completion of the job you were hired to do. To mark your progress, use the following checklist. Date Completed: ____________ Observation of Genetics Traits of each Character (10 pts.) ____________ Monster Mates Genetic Profile (10 pts.) ____________ Sesame Street Punnett Squares (10 pts.) ____________ Creating Monster Offspring (10 pts.) ____________ Sesame Street Family Portrait and Presentation (10 pts.)
