Trace simple genetic patterns of inheritance through a small population. Your high schoolers create a family pedigree that traces a genetic condition through several generations.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Students explore plant DNA.

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...

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,...

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...

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

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.

A collection of virtual labs focusing on genetic activities relating to a made up dragon genome. Students explore how inheritance works by studying different cases and running breeding experiments. By changing alleles, students perform...

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....

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

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 good site to establish what is meant by gene linkage and sex-linkage.

[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...

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.

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...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses the role of probability in inheritance.

A multiple-choice quiz on genetics terms and concepts.
