This article from DNA from the beginning is loaded with goodies about genetics and DNA. Starting with Mendel all the way through the concept of DNA, you will see how life is given certain characteristics. Some animations and audio clips...

This interactive lab will enhance learning about DNA by virtually translating a gene.

At DNA from the Beginning, choose from classical genetics, molecules of genetics, genetic organization and control. Each concept is explained through animation, an image gallery, video interviews, biographies and links.

Get it all straight! The "Tour of the Basics" will help clarify the basic principals of genetics science from DNA, genes, chromosomes, proteins, heredity, and traits.

An interactive website that explores information about genes, mitosis, meiosis, cloning, and gene mutation. Concepts are discussed in detail with an interactive glossary and animations. At the end of each section quick questions are...

Online children's story that teaches about genes and how they direct how you react to things in your environment. Click on "next" at the bottom of the story to see how different people respond differently to harmful substances.

At this site from PBS you can challenge yourself with this quiz to see if you know what is true and what is false in genetic and reproductive technology. You'll be surprised by some of the things that we are currently able to do with...

Animation illustrating how the jumping gene, Alu, reproduces by copying itself and inserting into new chromosomes.

This lesson focuses on DNA including it's structure,components,and how it goes together to form genomes. It also provides to links to a video and a test.

This site from the Human Genome Project for the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is the index page for chapters which include an introduction to genes, the mapping sequence of genes, and the impact and future of the Human Genome Project.

College-level course focusing on the principles of genetics. Course topics include structure and function of genes, chromosomes and genomes, biological variation, population genetics, use of genetic methods to analyze protein function,...

Chromosomes are made from DNA. Genes are short sections of DNA. Genetically identical cells are produced by a type of cell division called mitosis. In sexual reproduction, a male gamete fuses with a female gamete to produce a new cell....

The history of the discovery and work with DNA is located in this totally interactive timeline. Parts of the timeline are displayed using short movies, animation and flash.

This article explains how and why mutations are so important to genetics.

This Department of Energy site has up-to-date information and statistics on the progress of all JGI genome sequencing projects.

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

This site opens with an excellent introduction to Cytogenetics. Explore this site to learn about chromosomes, human karyotypes and more.

This interactive learning module allows AP Biology students to explore DNA and molecular genetics. The study also covers the concepts of biotechnology.

This lesson focuses on genetic inheritance including defining key terms such as chromosomes, alleles, DNA, genes, genome, and more. Links to a video and a test are provided.

Thomas Hunt Morgan will explain the research he did to determine that some traits are linked to the sex of an individual.

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

Chromosomes carry genetic information in a molecule called DNA. A type of cell division called mitosis ensures that when a cell divides each new cell produced has the same genetic information.

Learn about DNA and decoding the human genome by clicking graphical DNA models. You can also review a timeline that shows important moments in human genetics research. In Spanish.

An in-depth look at the human genome project and its scientific and social implications. Students work through interactive learning material, understanding the ethics involved in genetic studies. There is a suggested classroom activity...
