I. OBJECTIVES
The learners demonstrate an understanding of:
1. how cells divide to produce new cells
A. Content Standards
2. meiosis as one of the processes producing genetic variations of the Mendelian Pattern
of Inheritance
B. Performance The learners should be able to report on the importance of variation in plant and animal
Standards breeding.
The learners should be able to predict phenotypic expressions of traits following simple
patterns of inheritance. - S8LT-IVf-18
C. Learning 1. describe how Mendel worked on the garden peas as his genetic tool ;
Competencies/
Objectives
2. analyze Mendel’s experiment on garden peas to illustrate the Mendelian
Write the LC code for principles of inheritance;

IV. PROCEDURES
Mirror! Mirror!
Ask the learners to look at the mirror. Then, after doing so, ask them to describe
himself/herself base on what they saw. The learners can identify as many physical traits
as they can, such as, the color of the hair, the shape of the face, body built, color of the

lesson or presenting
the new lesson
>Give emphasis that these listed physical traits or characteristics were based on what
they have observed using their eyes. These traits are referred as phenotype.

*Possible answer: Straight hair, pointed nose, round shape face, white color of the skin
Match or Scratch?
Instruct the learners to look for a partner and exchange their list of answers. Compare
B. Establishing a purpose their list to one another and let them see if they have the same set of traits.
for the lesson >Are all people look a-like? Why or why not?
*Possible answer: No, there are no two individuals who are exactly the same.

AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT

Take a look at this plant; a Garden Pea plant. Ask the learners to describe it.

C. Presenting
examples/instances of
the new lesson
*Possible answer: Tall, green, with many fruits.
Emphasis on these observable traits or phenotype led Gregor Mendel in choosing this
plant to be used in conducting his experiment. You can also mention that Gregor
Mendel studied the pattern of inheritance using garden pea that led us to the study of
genetics.

Note: After describing, provide positive feedback/ praises to the learners, e.g.,well said,
very good, thank you, etc.

AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT

Let there be PEA’s on earth.

Ask the learners to read the comic strips and analyze the story and formulate a concept-
idea for each page and let them answer the given questions afterward by group
(learners will be grouped according to their gender).Their output will be written on a
white cartolina.

D. Discussing new
concepts and
practicing new skills #1

Answer the following questions, base on the reading selection:

1. What are the characteristics of the parents?
Answer: A tall (TT) and a short (tt) pea plant.
2. What are the characteristics of the offspring on the First Filial generation?
Answer: two tall plants (Tt).
3. What happen to the other characteristic if all the offspring are just tall plants?
Answer: There is a trait that covers the other trait. That’s why one trait is only seen.
4. When these two-tall plants (Tt) were crossed, what are the offspring? Referring to the
Second Filial generation.
Answer: 3 Tall (TT,Tt,Tt) plants and 1 short (tt) plant.
5. Based on the offspring on F2, which is considered BB as dominant trait?
Which is the recessive trait?
Answer: Tall is the dominant trait and short one is the recessive trait.

G. Finding practical
applications of
concepts and skills in
daily living
H. Making generalizations
and abstractions about
the lesson
Have the learners identify the physical traits and characteristics they have listed in
Activity 1 as to whether it is a resemble to their mother or to their father. Let them see
and prove that Mendel’s principle of Inheritance is true.
Complete each given statement.
Mendel’s Principles of Inheritance
Inherited traits are transmitted by 1.______ which occur in alternate forms called
2.________
3. ___________________________ - when two forms of the same gene are present the
dominant allele is expressed.
4. ___________________________ - in meiosis two alleles separate so that each
gamete receives only one form of the gene.
5. ___________________________ - each trait is inherited independent of other traits.
Answer key:
1. Genes
2. Allele
3. Principle of Dominance
4. Principle of Segregation
5. Principle of Independent assortment

Ask the learners to get a ¼ sheet of paper and answer the following.
Tell if the given statement is a Fact or a Bluff
1. There is pair of factor that controls the appearance of a trait.
2. According to Mendel’s experiment both genes are dominant.
3. Law of segregation states that different pairs of genes separate independently of each
other during meiosis.
4. The pair of genes separate.
I. Evaluating learning
5. Offspring can acquire 100% of his characteristics to his father only.
Answer key:
1. Fact
2. Bluff – One of the gene is dominant and the other is recessive
3. Bluff- It is the Law of Independent assortment
4.Fact
5. Bluff- Offspring’s characteristic can be acquired from his father and mother.
