There are many ways to learn about Gregor Mendel and his pea experiments. This interactive tutorial requires users to actually plant, grow, and cross different plants to observe their traits. Pedigrees are also used to help show dominant...

Explore the connection of genes and enzymes in regards to heredity and genetics. Concepts associated with dominant and recessive traits are also presented.

Instructional module focusing on Gregor Mendel's Laws of Inheritance. Discussion includes Mendel's discovery of dominant and recessive traits as well as co-dominance and incomplete dominance in genetics. Site also includes an interactive...

This interactive activity, adapted from the Dolan DNA Learning Center, illustrates how Gregor Mendel used purebred yellow and green peas to show that some genes are dominant and others are recessive.

In a class discussion format, the teacher presents background information about basic human genetics. The number of chromosomes in both body cells and egg and sperm cells is covered, as well as the concept of dominant and recessive...

Upper level discussion of several of Mendel's experiments and laws.

Human-Genetics: A Worldwide Search for the Dominant Trait allows you to collect data and share your results with students around the world. Register your class, complete the student survey, participate in discussion boards, and interact...

Students learn about patterns of inheritance including genotype and phenotype, and then learn about the inheritance of autosomal dominant and recessive and sex-linked genetic disorders.

Some characteristics, like the shape of your hairline, whether your earlobes are attached or detached, and whether or not you have freckles are inherited from your parents. In this science project you will learn about Mendelian traits,...

A complete, student-paced lesson on genetics and inheritance. Students work their way through illustrations and animated tutorials, and answer review questions along the way. There is a self-checking quiz at the end of the lesson.

Breed pure mice with known genotypes that exhibit specific fur and eye colors, and learn how traits are passed on via dominant and recessive genes. Punnett squares can be used to predict results. (Free usage is limited to five minutes...

This site explains how to determine the chances of inheriting certain traits from our parents. It gives mathematical examples and exercises.

This is a group of Mendelian Genetics exercises that are designed to show the evolution of a trait within a population. The site covers instruction in calculating genotypic and allelic frequencies, determining dominance, the...

A three-day unit introduces heredity by helping students identify their own genetic traits and then leading them in an exploration of generational traits and variation. Find printable worksheets, data tables, and graphs, as well as...

Students will explore Gregor Mendel's laws of genetics in this lesson. Students will be paired in male and female groups. If girls and boys can't be evenly divided, same sex students can be paired to represent research scientists....

A simulation where students flip coins to mimic how parents pass genetic traits to their offspring through heredity. This activity also illustrates the difference between dominant and recessive genes, and how they interact with each...

Explore the genetics of plants discovered by Gregor Mendel in the nineteenth century. These interactives will walk users through the planting and growth of pea plants, possible combinations of plans to alter traits, predict the results...

This interactive activity, adapted from the Dolan DNA Learning Center, uses Punnett squares to illustrate Mendel's laws of inheritance and how a particular gene combination results in a 3-to-1 ratio of dominant-to-recessive traits.

Mendel's second law and how he arrived at it through his experiments. Includes vocabulary and examples.

This personal site gives the seven characteristics that Mendel observed and a fairly large background to what Mendel saw and interpreted.

This site, which is provided for by the University of Arizona, gives problems online that correspond to basic Mendelian genetics. Test your knowledge once you've read about Mendel and accessed the links to the various subjects covered in...

This site explains genetic beliefs before and after Mendel, and also includes a section on Mendel himself and his experiments, entitled, "The Monk and his Peas".

This set of seven activities will proved a thorough review of Mendel's work. The interactive experiments are easy to follow and drive home the concepts.

This site from Palomar College provides an online practice quiz includes history as well as some of the genetics. Includes feedback. A great learning and practice site.
