JoinGenetics of Sesame Street<sup>TM</sup> Characters
By enlisting the of Elmo, Zoe, Grover, and friends, the author brought a genetics unit to life. In this week-long unit, the students (1) create a gene map for a particular Sesame Street character, (2) move the resulting chromosomes through the steps of meiosis to produce the possible gametes of that individual, (3) choose a spouse and diagram the genetic crosses that would produce two different children, and (4) draw family portraits based on the genotypes of each individual.
