A. Content Standards The learners demonstrate an understanding about meiosis as one of the
processes producing genetic variations of the Mendelian Pattern of Inheritance.
B. Performance Standards The learners should be able to report on the importance of variation in plant
and animal breeding.
C. Most Learning Competencies/Objectives At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
Write the LC Code for each 1. to predict phenotypic expressions of traits following simple patterns of
inheritance, (S8LT-IVf-18)
2. illustrate the Mendelian principles of inheritance, and;
3. recognize the value of Mendel’s study in today’s understanding of
inheritance and variations of traits.
II. CONTENT
Mendelian Genetics (Mendel's Law of Heredity/Mendel's Principle of Heredity)

IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing previous lesson or The learners will create words by unscrambling the letters.
presenting the new lesson (ELICIT) 1. T I C S E N G E 2. E R E H I D T Y
3. R I A T I V A N O 4. P E R E X I T E N M
5. P 0 H E N P Y T E 6. N O G E P Y T E
The teacher will pose the following questions related to the words formed
from the scrambled letters.
1. What is genetics?
2. What is heredity, and how does variation occur?
3. Why did Mendel chose garden peas in his experiment?
4. What is the difference between phenotype and genotype?
B. Establishing a purpose for the Learners will play the game "Mirror! Mirror!"
lesson (ENGAGE) Directions: Each learner will look for a partner. They will list down physical traits
of each other such as shape of the face, hair texture, skin complexion and shape
of nose. Each partner will compare their listed characteristics and let them see if
they have the same traits.
C. Presenting examples/ instances Ask the learners: Are all people look a-like? Why or why not?
of the new lesson
D. Discussing new concepts and Learners will be divided into six groups. Each group will read, understand and
practicing new skills # 1 (EXPLORE) analyze a selection and then answer the guided questions.
 Learners will answer the following questions, base on the reading selection:
1. What are the characteristics of the parents?
2. What are the characteristics of the offspring on the First Filial generation?
3. What happen to the other characteristic if all the offspring are just tall plants?
4. When these two-tall plants (Tt) were crossed, what are the offspring?
Referring to the Second Filial generation.
5. Based on the offspring on F2, which is considered BB as dominant trait?
Which is the recessive trait?
E. Discussing new concepts and Let the learners analyze the result of the crosses used in the activity.

LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT– Members of one gene pair segregate
independently from other gene pairs during gamete formation.
G. Finding practical applications of Have the learners identify the physical traits they listed in their game "Mirror!
concepts and skills in daily living Mirror!" as to whether it is a resemblance to their mother or to their father. Let
(ELABORATE) them see and prove that Mendel's principle of inheritance is true.
H. Making generalizations and Ask the learners the following questions:
abstractions about the lesson. 1. What are the laws of inheritance according to Gregor Mendel?
2. How does the concept of the dominant and recessive traits influence the
genetic expression in offspring?
I. Evaluating learning (EVALUATE) Ask the learners to answer the following.
I. Direction: Tell if the given statement is a Fact or a Bluff
1. There is pair of factors 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.
5. Offspring can acquire 100% of his characteristics to his father only.
II. Answer the question.
What is the significance of Mendel’s study in today’s understanding of
inheritance and variations of traits
J. Additional activities for applicationResearch about punnett square and how to use it in predicting phenotypes and
or remediation (EXTEND) genotypes of offspring.
