In this cell division activity, students answer 15 multiple choice questions about both mitosis and meiosis. Topics include the outcomes of the processes, the phases of the processes and steps within each process.

Learners identify the different steps involved in DNA transcription. In this genetics instructional activity, pupils complete a worksheet and model the translation process with a paper chain activity. They watch a video on sickle cell...

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

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...

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...

Students solve a crime by matching a suspect's blood type to physical evidence collected at the crime scene. In this forensic science lesson, students identify the different blood types. They explain how blood tests work.

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

Students identify the different kinds of blood. In this biology lesson, students investigate the antigens, agglutinins and Rh factor using their own blood. They use Punnett squares to predict blood type of offspring.

Students build chromosome models using popsicle sticks. In this biology lesson, students simulate the Law of Independent Assortment. They use Punnett squares to predict the resulting genotype and phenotype.

Students study genetic traits using popsicle sticks as chromosomes. In this biology lesson, students explain how traits are inherited from parents. They differentiate dominant and recessive genes.

Students explore the concepts of phenotypes and genotypes.  In this genetics lesson students work together to pick a superhero and determine the traits of the offspring. 

In this theory of evolution worksheet, high schoolers review vocabulary words associated with evolution including the different types of evolution patters. This worksheet has 5 true or false and 5 matching questions.

Students analyze gels to determine parentage in this instructional activity about scientific evidence, investigation, and DNA concepts. The instructional activity includes a pre-activity worksheet, a final individual assessment, and...

Students describe and apply the Mendellian principles of genetics, focusing predominantly on dominant and recessive genes. They demonstrate how two parents contribute genes and how those genes appear in their offspring. They describe...

Students slve a case of unclear heredity using three lines of evidence and knowledge gained from the lesson in this biology lesson about Mendelian inheritance. The lesson includes handouts and a question sheet for final, individual...

In the real world, genes often come in many versions (alleles). Alleles aren't always fully dominant or recessive to one another, but may instead display codominance or incomplete dominance.

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,...

A tutorial reviews polygenic and multiple alleles, Punnett Square, sex-linked trait, and inheritance patterns. Follow the slides to ensure comprehension of inheritance.

A multiple-choice quiz on the mechanisms of evolution.

A quick, five question multiple-choice quiz assessing complex patterns of human inheritance.

Explains and gives examples of polygenic inheritance.

Learn about the four main types of blood, and why some blood types mix and others don't. Includes a video, multiple-choice and open-ended questions, background information with links for further research, and a guided discussion...
