Students observe the results of initial crosses, make hypotheses about the inheritance of the trait, design crosses to test their hypot http://serc.carleton.edu/sp/merlot/biology/interactive/examples/14297.html An interactive lecture that uses flash animations showing the researcher and their experiments that were used to develop the basic concepts in Mendelian genetics. Includes multiple choice questions students can answer in class. http://serc.carleton.edu/sp/merlot/biology/teachingwdata/examples/14197.html This assignment uses a computer simulation of fruit fly genetics to have students design and interpret monohybrid crosses of a trait with simple dominant and recessive alleles. Detailed instructions with animated examples, background material, a sample report and a rubric are included.
