Can DNA fingerprinting prevent the extinction of elephants? Young scientists learn about DNA fingerprinting before applying their knowledge to case studies of elephant poaching. The first case requires them to match the DNA from a tusk...

Why are so many inherited diseases more prevalent in populations of specified races? Scholars learn about pedigrees and genetics using a reading, an animation, primary sourced letters, a short video, a biography, a guided practice...

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

A Java simulation of genetic drift where users can select a starting allele frequency, population size, and a maximum number of generations. Simulation gives a graph that shows allele frequency versus generation number.

Learn how genetic screening is used to identify people who are healthy genetic carriers for diseases that occur more often in certain populations.

Teach aliens about evolution as you play this game, and review your own understanding in the process. Topics covered include evolutionary mechanisms, evidence of evolution, natural selection, reproductive isolation, population genetics,...
