Explains what dominant and recessive traits are and how they work, and provides a list of single gene traits with the degree of manifestation if they are dominant or recessive. Also discusses co-dominance, incomplete dominance, polygenic...

Learn how the genes inherited from two parents can be recombined in their offspring in this simulation activity. In addition, investigate the probabilities of passing on inherited genetic disorders.

This resource provides extensive information about genetic interactions.

This website provides an answer to the following question: "What are Gene Mutations?" Many links are provided throughout this short description that access information on related subjects.

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

The basic principles of genetics are in this effective site. Gender determination, recessive traits, and the Punnet Square are the topics examined. There is also a Punnet Square practice exercise to assess your comprehension of the...

This link has many tools to help understand the revolutionary sciences and discoveries in genetics.

This interactive multimedia site has all sorts of information about muscular dystrophy. The animations and diagrams are excellent, and the interviews gives insight into families dealing with muscular dystrophy. Diagnosis, inheritance,...

This detailed article from the Nobel e-Museum explores Thomas Hunt Morgan's career and research in genetics. Read how Morgan's work influenced later scientists and the modern scientific world.

This lesson will give examples of disorders that are linked to genes on the X chromosome.

Resource presents information about the human genome sequencing project and has links to other genome projects besides the Human Genome Project.

Our genes are inherited from our parents, and the different combinations of these genes make us unique. Genetic inheritance controls the characteristics of all living things. This lesson focuses on the inheritance of biological sex in...

This problem set is based on a question received from a woman with red-green color blind as well as other members of her family. She wanted to know if we could help her understand how she inherited her color blindness.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Some human genetic disorders are also X-linked or Y-linked, which means the faulty gene is carried on these sex chromosomes. Other genetic disorders are carried on...
