Scitable: Gene Inheritance and Transmission
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,...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Modern Genetics
Try your hand at mating dragons to learn about genetic recombination, meiosis, and inherited traits. Understand how chromosomes separate in meiosis with a science animation. Then change alleles for the dragons to see what happens to...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Geniventure
Geniventure engages students in exploring heredity, genetics, and the protein-to-trait relationship by breeding and studying virtual dragons. Students play through six levels of challenges, conducting simulated experiments that generate...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Geniverse Software
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...

Alex: Genetic Babies
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....
