Genotypes and Phenotypes
The genotype is the set of genes in our DNA which is responsible for a particular trait. The phenotype is the physical expression, or characteristics, of that trait. For example, two organisms that have even the minutest difference in their genes are said to have different genotypes.

Level 13 Elaborate: Watch the above VDOs and make make your own VDO
Teach your audience how to use a Punnett square and explain how you use the Genotypes to determine the phenotypes. Choose one or two of the punnet squares linked below. Use your own phone to record your lesson or you may use an iPad please keep it under 2 minutes.
