How did the beginnings of genetic research influence the Nazi party? A thorough, engaging unit incorporates the work of Gregor Mendel, the study of inherited traits, and the use of racism and discrimination during the Holocaust.

Where is a geneticist's favorite place to swim? A gene pool. Young geneticists complete hands-on activities, experiments, and real-world problem solving throughout the unit. With extra focus on dominant and recessive genes, Punnett...

Instructional module focusing on Gregor Mendel's scientific legacy and analysis of multiple genetic traits. Discussion includes Mendel's work on his second law, the Law of Independent Assortment, which states that different traits are...

Instructional module focusing on Gregor Mendel's Laws of Inheritance. Discussion includes Mendel's discovery of dominant and recessive traits as well as co-dominance and incomplete dominance in genetics. Site also includes an interactive...

Learn about the principle of dominance as you watch animations showing Mendel's experiments with pea plants. Find out what happened when he crossed plants that produced green seeds with those that produced yellow seeds.

A comprehensive resource discussing the details of Gregor Mendel's research of genetics. Based on experiments he conducted he recognized that some genes are dominant over others. Find a variety of learning tools to enhance study.

Learn how Gregor Mendel's study of plants increased scientific knowledge regarding genetic traits.

Students learn about patterns of inheritance including genotype and phenotype, and then learn about the inheritance of autosomal dominant and recessive and sex-linked genetic disorders.

This animated lesson will explain how genes are inherited in pairs, one from the mother and one from the father.

This provides access to a webbook about How Humans Evolved. The following topics are covered: (1) How Evolution Works, (2) Primate Behavior and Ecology, (3) The History of Human Lineage, and (4) Evolution and Modern Humans. Each chapter...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Another exception to Mendel's rules is polygenic inheritance, which occurs when a trait is controlled by more than one gene. This means that each dominant allele...
