Dragon Genetics ~ Independent Assortment and Genetic Linkage
Imagine a pair of dragons that produce offspring. What percentage of the hatchlings have wings and large antlers? An engaging activity draws genetics learners in, introduces them to alleles, meiosis, phenotypes, genotypes, and...

Dragon Genetics-Independent Assortment and Genetic Linkage
Learners build chromosome models using popsicle sticks. In this biology lesson plan, students simulate the Law of Independent Assortment. They use Punnett squares to predict the resulting genotype and phenotype.
