Students will use Python to create a screen with four pieces of text placed on the canvas.
Students will be able to create and position simple graphics on the canvas in order to begin programming a Punnett Square generator.
Students will learn about variables, user input, and string indexing in order to print user defined allele values to their canvas.
Students will learn how functions can be defined and called to complete a task.
Students will be able to use functions and string indexing in order to fill in the genotypes resulting from the user inputted allele values.
Students will use if/else statements to alter their printGenotype function so the dominant allele (capital letter) is always printed first if there is one.
Students will be able to use if/else statements in order to make sure that the dominant allele in any resulting genotype is printed first if one exists.
Students will learn how to use logical operators to determine if a genotype contains a dominant allele.
Students will be able to use logical operators in order to calculate how many genotypes contain dominant alleles.
Students will make the information given by their Punnett Square generator easier to understand by adding text components around the dominant genotype percentage.
Students will be able to apply many of the programming concepts they’ve learned up to this point in order to create a Punnett Square generator that gives easy-to-digest, important information.
