OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards The learners demonstrate an understanding of:
1. how cells divide to produce new cells
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
breeding.
C. Learning The learners should be able to predict phenotypic expressions of traits following simple
Competencies/ patterns of inheritance. - S8LT-IVf-18
Objectives Write the 1. describe how Mendel worked on the garden peas as his genetic tool;
LC code for each 2. analyze Mendel’s experiment on garden peas to illustrate the Mendelian principles
of inheritance;
3. recognize the value of Mendel’s study in today’s understanding of inheritance and
variations of traits.

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 skin etc.
>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
A. Presenting Take a look at this plant; a Garden Pea plant. Ask the
examples/instances learners to describe it.

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

*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.

concepts and Ask the learners to read the comic strips and analyze the
practicing new skills story and formulate a concept- idea for each page and let
#1 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.
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.
