 All about Gregor Mendel

Austrian Monk, born in what is now Czech Republic in 1822. He was a son of peasant farmer,
who studied Theology and was ordained priest Order St. Augustine. He went to the University of
Vienna, where he studied botany and learned the Scientific Method.

He worked with pure lines of peas for eight years. Prior to Mendel, heredity was regarded as a
"blending" process and the offspring were essentially a "dilution“ of the different parental
characteristics.

In 1866 he published Experiments in Plant Hybridization, (Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden) in

which he established his three Principles of Inheritance. He tried to repeat his work in another
plant, but didn’t work because the plant reproduced asexually!

His work was largely ignored for 34 years, until 1900, when 3 independent botanists
rediscovered Mendel’s work.
V. ACTIVITY TITLE: Missing Link

What you need:

Picture strips, colored paper, marker
VI. ACTIVITY TITLE: Graphic Organizer

What you need:

Manila paper, pentel pen, marker, pencil, coloring materials

Procedure:
1. Identify the characteristics of the garden pea plants used by Mendel in his experiment.
2. Illustrate the characteristics of the traits on the manila paper provided. Use the table as your
guide.

Guide Questions:
1. How can you compare the traits observed by Mendel during his experiment?
2. What are the traits that are manifested during his experiments?
3. How about the traits masked by the manifested trait in the garden pea plants?
4. What can you say about the traits manifested in the garden pea plants?
5. How did Mendel come up with these observations?

VII. ACTIVITY TITLE: Reflective Analysis

What you need:
Worksheet, pen, pencil, coloring materials

Procedure:
1. Based on the lessons that you have learned, give your insights and reflections on the
importance of understanding Mendel’s experiments.
2. Use symbols, icons, pictures to explain your reflections or insights.
3. Share your insights within your group and in class after the activity.

VIII. ACTIVITY TITLE: TOSSING A COIN

What you need:
paper, 1-peso coin, pen

Procedure:
1. On a piece of paper, make a chart similar to the given below.
2. Toss the two coins together. If a head-head combination appears, mark column 1; if head-tail,
mark column 2; and if tail-tail mark column.
3. Make 50 tosses of the coins. Get the total number of times each combination appears.
Calculate percentage of the appearance of each combination. To compute the percentage, use
this formula:
Total x 100 / 100%
4. Write your data gathered in the table provided below.

Head-Head (HH) Head-Tail (Hh) Tail-Tail (hh)

Total

Percentage

Ratio of combinations

Guide Questions:
1. What is the ratio of a head-head, head-tail, and tail-tail combination you make 50 tosses?
2. If you toss the same coins 100,000 times, would you get the same ratio?
3. Let the head (H) represent a dominant gene and the tail (h), a recessive gene.
compare the ratio you obtained in this activity with the one obtained by
Mendel in his monohybrid F2 generation peas. Are they approximately
similar?
