Students are introduced to the concepts of genetic dominance, recessiveness, related terms, Punnett Squares, etc.

In this science worksheet, students find the answers to various types of heredity problems. They use the sheet to set goals for completing the unit.

Students grow E. coli strain HB101, which contains the plasmid pUCD607 with the bioluminescence (Lux+) gene. The plasmid containing the Lux+ gene is isolated from the E. coli, then characterized by restriction analysis.

This is a worksheet regarding human genetics where students can poll the class regarding specific traits.

Students model the plasticity of neural pathways for memory in the brain. They simulate the cell activity according to dots on cards that they are given. They complete various simulations of different cell combinations.

In this literacy learning exercise, learners find the words that are related to the concept that is the theme of the word search puzzle.

Students explore plant DNA.

In this informative site, you will find the definition of genotype and phenotype, an explanation of the relationship between genotype and phenotype, an example of a genetic trait, an explanation of the flow of information from DNA to...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes genotype and phenotype, and how genes are inherited.

Do you know the difference between population genetics and quantitative genetics? This webpage examines both population genetics which concentrates on frequencies of alleles and genotypes and quantitative genetics which deals with the...

This site talks about the differences between genotype and phenotype. It offers examples, and tells how a genotype determines a phenotype.

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.

Get an in-depth look at gene inheritance and transmission with this webpage. This site explores genetics beyond Mendel and his peas. Investigate transmission genetics with the following topics gene linkage, variation in gene expression,...

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

Using chromosome and gene models, learners play the roles of two parents in this genetics simulation. The object is to create four offspring and determine their genotypes and phenotypes, and determine the probability of having offspring...

This site includes a lesson plan designed to teach students how genetic traits are passed down from parents to offspring. Students will explore such concepts as random selection, chrosomes, genotypes and phenotypes using jelly beans and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Natural selection acts on the phenotype (traits or characteristics) of an individual. On the other hand, natural selection does not act on the underlying genotype...

For a concise summary of human blood types, this is a great resource. Discussion includes the topics of genotype, phenotype and agglutinins. There is also a nice pictorial table that summarizes the three blood types.

A multiple-choice quiz on genetics terms and concepts.
