A decent lab activity which could be used to introduce the concept of dominance and autosomal dominance. This site provides a coin toss activity to learn about Mendelian Genetics.

This site explains how to determine the chances of inheriting certain traits from our parents. It gives mathematical examples and exercises.

This site, which is provided for by the University of Arizona, gives problems online that correspond to basic Mendelian genetics. Test your knowledge once you've read about Mendel and accessed the links to the various subjects covered in...

A great supplement to help introduce Punnett Squares. It tells how to set them up and how to use them correctly. A sample quiz is offered and feedback is given to help with understanding why an answer is correct or not.

Clermont College provides a good interactive practice test using Punnett squares.

Upper level discussion of several of Mendel's experiments and laws.

At this site see an online visual of meiosis, fertilization, and inheritance and play a game.

Students explore the relationships between genetics, biodiversity, and evolution through a simple activity involving hypothetical wild mouse populations. First, students toss coins to determine what traits a set of mouse parents...

Review the processes of basic Mendelian genetics.

Using chromosome and gene models, students play the roles of two parents in this genetics simulation. The object is to create four offspring and determine their genotypes and phenotypes, and determine the probability of having offspring...

This site is provided by the University of Arizona and it gives great information on the subject. Good collection of dihybrid crosses which exemplify the issue of independent assortment. Work these once you think you've mastered th concept.

Mendel's second law and how he arrived at it through his experiments. Includes vocabulary and examples.

This personal site gives the seven characteristics that Mendel observed and a fairly large background to what Mendel saw and interpreted.

This resource explains Mendel's first law (Law of Segregation) in detail. Includes Mendel's original experiments with results and conclusions.

Good description of Mendel's findings and his second major principle.

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

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,...

Today, about one-tenth of the world's population are southpaws. Why are such a small proportion of people left-handed -- and why does the trait exist in the first place? The following video investigates how the uneven ratio of lefties...

Historical perspective on Mendel's contribution. Spends a little time setting up what the current beliefs of Mendel's day were and how he changed things with what he did.

Explains and gives examples of polygenic inheritance.

Students use this article to identify how probability is used to predict outcomes of genetic crosses.

Photos of slides and genetics charts accompany the text and explain the differences between sickle cell train vs. sickle cell anemia, symptoms of sickle cell disease, secondary diseases/conditions associated with sickle cell, mechanism...

What are the chances of SpongeBob having kids with round pants? Working in cooperative learning groups, students explore the concept of probability. Using interactive websites, students explore the possibilities of an organism having a...
