Evolution Lab

For Students 9th - 12th Standards
Evolution occurs though change over time, but can it go any faster? Scholars speed up the process of evolution and observe a simulation of 20 blue organisms fighting for survival. A graph displays the changes in phenotype over time. By...

One Gene Makes One Protein

For Students 9th - 12th Standards
Very few universities still offer a master's degree in the ecology of grasses, but that was the degree that led George Wells Beadle to an interest in genetics and later a Nobel Prize. Scholars learn about the discoveries of Dr. Beadle...

University of Utah: Learning Center: Learn Genetics:the Outcome of Mutation

For Students 9th - 10th
Mutation is a process that changes a DNA sequence. But how does a difference in a gene's DNA sequence (or genotype) lead to a difference in an observable trait (or phenotype)?

Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Meiosis

For Students 9th - 10th
Why don't you look exactly like your brother or sister? Meiosis involves the reducing of genetic material and chromosome shuffling which results in different genetic combinations. In this activity, students will view a computer model of...
