Can peas have grandparents? Learn about inherited traits and heredity with a set of activities focused on Mendelian genetics. As your class learns about the process of passing traits along in Punnett squares, they take on the role of...

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...

This resource provides a good overview of genetics, including codominance.

This site from Palomar College provides a good background on exactly what Mendel did. Vocabulary links throughout make this a very good introduction article for genetics.

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 college-level biology reference book introduces the study of heredity and genetics using diagrams and descriptive illustrations.

Article reviews some probability basics then investigates how these calculations can be applied to genetics problems involving relatively large numbers of genes. Explores how the sum rule and the product rule can be used to solve these...

Review the processes of basic Mendelian genetics.

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

Great genetics site with a very good section on Punnett squares.

Article reviews Mendel's basic model of inheritance then provides an overview of variations on Mendel's laws, including multiple alleles, incomplete dominance, co-dominance, pleiotropy, lethal alleles, sex linkage, genetic interactions,...

These pages are part of a site called Evolution that accompany a textbook by the same name. Mark Ridley is the author. This section has an advanced discussion of determining allele and genotype frequencies using the Hardy-Weinberg ratio.

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

This comprehensive study guide covers the main terms and concepts needed for a unit on human inheritance.

Historical perspective on Mendel's contribution. Spends a little time setting up what the current beliefs of Mendel's day were and how he changed things with what he did.

Resource provides a discussion of Mendel's law of segregation with a focus on genotype, phenotype, alleles, heterozygous/homozygous, and 2 x 2 Punnett squares.

At this site from The Nobel Foundation you can read about Thomas Hunt Morgan, the scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine "for his discoveries concerning the role played by the chromosome in heredity." This website is organized...

Discover how Gregor Mendel uncovered the key principles of inheritance using a simple, familiar system: the pea plant. Learn about Mendel's life, his experiments, and his legacy.

Article defines Mendel's law of independent assortment, provides examples, and takes a look at how it is used to make predictions. Also, discusses dihybrid crosses and 4 x 4 Punnett squares.
