Write-up / 30 pts
Introduction to inheritance and its relationship to this project / Introduction clearly explains inheritance (Mendel’s experiments, law of segregation, complete dominance) and its relationship to the “Funky Chicken” project / 8
Crosses & Punnett squares / Crosses include phenotype, alleles, and genotype.
Pictures are neat and are in color.
Punnett squares are complete and accurate (include cross, key, genotype and phenotype % and ratios)
P1 &F1 offspring reflect the alleles/genotype in the greatest % of the P1 and F1 crosses. / 15
Marketing Scenario / Marketing scenario is persuasive and is clearly presented. Remember: this is your first contact with the “scenario” corporation. / 7

Presentation / 100 pts
Participation / Time given in class to work on project was utilized efficiently and effectively. / 10
Model and/or Other Visual Aids / Model or other visuals (examples-skit, music or video) used to enhance presentation.
Charts, table and other visuals are used in PowerPoint presentation to assist in selling your genetically enhance line of chickens.
Visual aids include relevant traits of scenario.
Effort is apparent in model/other visual aid(s). / 20
Power Point and Inheritance / Presenters(s) show understanding of inheritance and its relationship to the Funky Chicken Project.
Presenter(s) explain in detail how relevant traits were passed from P1generation to F1generation and F1 offspring using Punnett squares and other probability models such as fork-line method.
Presentation includes at least one dihybrid probability cross. This cross is connected to Mendel’s Law of independent assortment.
Presentation includes a fork-line multiple trait probability model.
Presentation includes one or more pedigrees.
Monohybrid, dihybrid and fork-line multiple-trait probability crosses are complete and accurate (includes cross, key, genotype, phenotype, percent and ratios).
P1&F1 offspring reflect the alleles/genotype in the greatest frequency (percent) of the P1 & F1 crosses.
Charts, tables and other visuals are used in presentation to assist in the selling of your genetically enhanced line of chickens. / 40
Mendel and Dihybrid Crosses / Law of Segregation and Law of Independent Assortment is clearly and accurately explained.
Dihybrid and fork-line multiple trait crosses explained in detail (connect back to Law of Independent Assortment). / 10
Quality of information / Presentation is original, creative with a persuasive element that is appealing to the “corporation” that is buying your genetically enhanced line of funky chickens.
Original illustrations used in presentation.
Presentation is well organized and of high quality (accurate and well explained by all presenters). / 15
Citations / References are included at the end of PowerPoint presentation. / 5
