The ten slides give multiple examples of Genetic Drift, or cases of particular genetic populations. Each set of data requires an explanation and the allele frequency changes should be easy for your students to calculate.  

In this genetics worksheet, students use a pedigree to determine if any of the offspring carry a recessive trait. This worksheet has 5 fill in the blank and 5 short answer questions.

The Hardy-Weinberg principle is the focus of this concise slideshow.  Some vocabulary definitions are given on the first 2 slides, and the rest are given over to examples of the Hardy-Weinberg theorem. Calculations of the H-W...

The five agents of evolutionary change are reviewed in this slideshow. Definitions of common terms involved with populations and equilibrium are given, and there are some presentations of Hardy Weinberg equations for common examples of...

Six genetics problems are to be solved by junior geneticists. Empty Punnett squares are provided for them to plant the parents' alleles and determine the genotype, phenotype, and frequency of offspring. All of the problems involve actual...

Although there are a few missing titles in this collection of slides, if your class has the support of a genetic disease lecture to accompany it, this resource will be very useful. The mechanism of genetic inheritance is covered. Flow...

This PowerPoint jumps right into the details of unusual traits and how they are coded.  The epistasis patterns in Labradors are used as a main example, and many instances of polygenic inheritance malfunctions are explained. All of...

Mendels laws of Genetics are extended here with examples of traits that are completely controlled by just one gene. Malfunctions such as albinism and baldness can therefore be tracked and will demonstrate inheritance patterns to your...

Although there are a few missing titles in this collection of slides, if your class has prior knowledge of genetic diseases then this resource could be useful. The mechanism of genetic inheritance are covered and both flow charts and...

For this basics of genetics worksheet, students review the concepts of genetic inheritance by writing the alleles for genetic traits inherited in offspring. They identify dominant and recessive traits given allele pairs, answer five...

Students draws the child's face and compares "mother's" and "father's" perception of characteristics. One student draws the child's face; partner writes a biography of the child at age 30- what is the child like, what have they...

Students participate in an activity where they flip coins to determine which allele they pass on to the F1 generation and draw the resulting child's face. They identify several inheritance patterns including dominant, recessive,...

In this worksheet, students will answer 4 fill in the blank statements about Mendelian inheritance and meiosis. Then students will use Punnett squares to answer three short answer questions. Students will match 8 genetics vocabulary...

In this Mendelian inheritance worksheet, students will use a pedigree to complete 4 short answer questions about recessive and dominant traits. Then students will create a Punnett square. Finally, students will match 5 genetic disorders...

In this heredity worksheet, students will create 3 Punnett squares to determine the genotype and phenotype of the offspring from specific breedings. Then students will answer 7 true or false questions based on chromosomes and sex-linked...

In this heredity worksheet, students complete two monohybrid crosses and predict the expected outcome of genotypes and phenotypes. They answer five questions about each genetic cross.

Students gain a feeling for the significance of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium without using algebra but participating in an interactice game.

Students use this exercise to help achieve a working knowledge of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium without recourse to algebra. After participating in this activity, students gain a feeling for the significance of the Hardy-Weinberg...

In this heredity worksheet, students review how genes are involved in the inheritance of certain traits through generations. Students complete a Punnett square and review probability. This worksheet has 11 short answer and 11 fill in the...

In this literacy worksheet, students find the words that are related to the concept that is the theme of the word search puzzle.

This resource explains Mendel's first law (Law of Segregation) in detail. Includes Mendel's original experiments with results and conclusions.

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