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.

Explore human genetics through the world of Harry Potter. A thorough lesson develops the introductory concepts of genetics using characters of the popular book series. Learners study topics from DNA and chromosomes to Punnett Squares and...

If you knew people would pay extra for a bald dragon, could you pick which parents you should breed in order to get the highest number? The unit examines heredity and genetics through breeding dragons, mice, dogs, and tries to figure...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Take a close look at non-traditional theories stemming from Mendel's genetics research. Explore the details of complex inheritance patterns.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] While studying genetics, students will investigate sex-linked genes and what inherited diseases are associated with the genes. Students will also explore pedigree...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Explore the genetics research conducted by biologist Gregor Mendel and understand the significance of alleles on genes.

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...

This interactive learning module allows AP Biology students to explore the principles of Mendelian genetics and non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance. Students will also study the role of chromosomes in heredity.

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...

Find out what happened when Mendel crossed two hybrid pea plants. The animations do a good job explaining why these crosses produce a 3:1 ratio of traits.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Introduction to non-Mendelian inheritance.

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.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In all of Mendel's experiments, he worked with traits where a single gene controlled the trait. Each also had one allele that was always dominant over the recessive...

An introductory lesson on the basics of heredity, and the inheritance of genetic traits. [7:57]

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

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.

This project is a series of interrelated modules designed to introduce the student to modern biological techniques in the area of bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is the application of computer technology to the management of biological...
