PurposePurpose

• Describe how different environments support different varieties of organisms

• Identify that change in environmental conditions can affect the survival of individuals and of species

• Distinguish between inherited traits and other characteristics that result from interactions with the environment

• Make predictions about possible outcomes of various genetic combinations of inherited characteristics

Page 3: Fish Sticks. Purpose Describe how different environments support different varieties of organisms Identify that change in environmental conditions can.

MaterialsMaterials

• 1 “gene pool” container – paper bag

• 8 green craft sticks

• 8 red craft sticks

• 8 yellow craft sticks

Page 4: Fish Sticks. Purpose Describe how different environments support different varieties of organisms Identify that change in environmental conditions can.

Given this information:Given this information:

The colored craft sticks represent three different forms of a gene (green, red, and yellow) that controls one fish trait: skin color. The table tells you which forms (alleles) of the gene are dominant, which are recessive, and which are co-dominant.

Page 5: Fish Sticks. Purpose Describe how different environments support different varieties of organisms Identify that change in environmental conditions can.

Given this information:Given this information:

• The green gene (G) is dominant to all other color genes

• The red gene (R) is recessive to green and co-dominant to yellow

• The yellow gene (Y) is recessive to green and co-dominant to red

• Co-dominant alleles result in an orange color

Procedure – Part 1:Procedure – Part 1:

• Figure out which gene combinations give rise to which fish colors and fill in the answers on the table.

Data AnalysisData Analysis

• Can two red fish mate and have green offspring? Why or why not?

• Can two orange fish mate and have red offspring? Why or why not?

• Can two green fish mate and have orange offspring? Why or why not?

Procedure – Part 2: Procedure – Part 2:

• Make a first generation of fish.

• Record your data.

• The stream where the fish live is very green and lush with lots of vegetation and algae covering the streambed and banks.

• The green fish are very well camouflaged from predators in this environment and the red and orange fish fairly well also.

• However, none of the yellow fish survive or reproduce because predators can easily spot them in the green algae environment.

Page 13: Fish Sticks. Purpose Describe how different environments support different varieties of organisms Identify that change in environmental conditions can.

Procedure – Part 2:Procedure – Part 2:

• Draw a 2nd generation of fish.

• Record your data.

• Draw a 3rd generation of fish.

• Record your data.

Page 14: Fish Sticks. Purpose Describe how different environments support different varieties of organisms Identify that change in environmental conditions can.

Think about the data so far:Think about the data so far:

• Have all the yellow genes disappeared?• Has the population size changed? In what way?

Would you expect this to occur in the wild? Explain your answer.

• How does the population in the third generation compare to the population in the earlier generations?

Page 15: Fish Sticks. Purpose Describe how different environments support different varieties of organisms Identify that change in environmental conditions can.

Procedure – Part 2”Procedure – Part 2”

• Draw more pairs of genes to make a fourth generation of fish.

• Record your data.

Factory waste harmful to algae isdumped into the stream, killing much of the

algae very rapidly. The remainingrocks and sand are good camouflage for the

yellow, red, and orange fish. Nowthe green fish are easily spotted by predators

and can’t survive or reproduce.

STOP! An environmental disaster

occurs.

Page 17: Fish Sticks. Purpose Describe how different environments support different varieties of organisms Identify that change in environmental conditions can.

Procedure – Part 2:Procedure – Part 2:

• Because green fish don’t survive, set them aside.

• Record the surviving offspring (all but the green).

Analyze the data:Analyze the data:

• Has the population changed compared to earlier generations? How?

• Have any genes disappeared entirely?• Yellow genes are recessive to green; green

genes are dominant to both red and yellow. Which color of genes disappeared faster when the environment was hostile to them? Why?
