Modern Genetics
Genetic counselors advise their clients on the chance of passing specific diseases on to their children. Pupils learn about genotypes, phenotypes, and genetics in the lesson. Matching activities, multiple-choice questions, and a...
Biology in Motion
Evolution Lab
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...
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Genes Can Be Moved Between Species
Biotechnology changes lives every day, but how did it all start? Learn about Cohen and Boyer's technique for recombinant DNA and the founding of this new scientific study. Then, scholars use the online interactive to discover how Hanahan...

One Gene Makes One Protein
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
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
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Meiosis
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...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Modern Genetics
Try your hand at mating dragons to learn about genetic recombination, meiosis, and inherited traits. Understand how chromosomes separate in meiosis with a science animation. Then change alleles for the dragons to see what happens to...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Geniventure
Geniventure engages students in exploring heredity, genetics, and the protein-to-trait relationship by breeding and studying virtual dragons. Students play through six levels of challenges, conducting simulated experiments that generate...

Biology Simulations: Population Genetics
Population genetics is the study of genetic variation in populations. This simulation allows the user to observe the frequencies of two alleles over time.

Biology Simulations: Heredity I: Eye Color and Tails
This simulation can be used to test the heredity of two traits; eye color and the presence of a tail.
