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...

A complete, student-paced lesson on genetics and inheritance. Students work their way through illustrations and animated tutorials, and answer review questions along the way. There is a self-checking quiz at the end of the lesson.

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.

A site with information about the hereditary patterns in the science of biology including dominant and recessive genes, alleles, the Punnet square, examples, and interesting facts.

First, students toss coins to determine what traits a set of mouse parents possess, such as fur color, body size, heat tolerance, and running speed. Next they use coin tossing to determine the traits a mouse pup born to these parents...

Some characteristics, like the shape of your hairline, whether your earlobes are attached or detached, and whether or not you have freckles are inherited from your parents. In this science project you will learn about Mendelian traits,...

This site explains genetic beliefs before and after Mendel, and also includes a section on Mendel himself and his experiments, entitled, "The Monk and his Peas".

A great instructional activity that deals with genetic probability and recycling. Students will create a recycled "critter" based on genotype/phenotypes.
