Learners 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.

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...

In this chromosomes activity, students complete a crossword puzzle with 33 questions about genetic mutation in chromosomes. They identify traits associated with certain genes.

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...

Rules are not meant to be broken in genetics. Scholars learn to build Punnett squares to track the inheritance of dominant and recessive traits in an interactive animation activity. Online questions help individuals reflect on their...

Students explore neurological disorders. They examine the presence and absence of discernible genes. Students describe neruological diseases and draw faces of affected persons. They play a human neurology disorders learning game.

Genetics hopefuls solve Punnett Squares for monohybrid and dihybrid crosses. An example of each is provided to teach the process. Other heredity patterns are mentioned and genetic disorders are listed in the second half of the...

Did she cheat on her husband? Did the hospital switch the babies? Should they have children? As much as this sounds like the plot for a soap opera, all of these questions fit into a single lesson on genetics. Scholars read about three...

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...

Seventh graders explore the connection between genetics and heredity by examining the cellular structure. Among the numerous activities to engage students are drawing DNA molecules, vocabulary puzzle sheets, and predicting possible...

Students describe some aspects of known genetic defects on the human neurological condition. They participate in a variety of exercises including drawings, games, and analogies.

Pupils analyze genetic characteristics in a given family tree through the F2 generation. Students apply prior knowledge from Gregor Mendel's study with pea plants and his Laws of Heredity to answer questions.

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 explore the mode of inheritance of chromosomes. Given a scenario, students use the Human Genome sheet to determine inherited chromosomes. They illustrate the difference between genotype and phenotype. Students develop a model...

In this cell division learning exercise, students answer 13 multiple choice questions based on the process of mitosis and meiosis. Included are questions about the stages of cell division as well as the structures involved.

In this cell division worksheet, 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.

This resource will explore sex-linked genes which are a form of genetic linkage that depends on the X and Y sex chromosomes.

Use these flashcards to review topics in cell reproduction, recombination, linkage, and sex-linked genes.

An animated pedigree clearly explains the way hemophilia was inherited in the Romanov family. Interpreting pedigrees and sex-linked crosses should be much easier to understand after going through this tutorial.

This site, provided by The University of Arizona, gives a good set of genetics problems that involve sex-linked genes. Great to review what you know! Links are provided to access the various subjects covered in this problem set.

This site from the University of Arizona provides great information on a sex-linked inheritance problem set. This is a very good site to practice what you know about sex-linked problems. Each link is a problem.

Here are graphics illustrating an experiment with drosophila fruitflies. Sex-linked inheritance is demonstrated here using eye color alleles on X chromosomes. Site by Access Excellence.

Learn about the traits that are linked to genes on the sex chromosomes.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] While studying genetics, students will investigate sex-linked genes and what inherited diseases are associated with the genes. Students will also explore pedigree...
