StarGenetics

StarGenetics is a simple java app that can be used for doing genetic crosses. Currently it is in beta, so there are assignments or tutorials yet. The current version of the program lets you do crosses with smiley faces of different colors, which show incomplete dominant inheritance, and crosses with flies with and without wings, which show normal recessive inheritance. Crosses produce 50 offspring, and offspring can be crossed with one another and back to the parents. However, you have to count the offspring of each cross yourself.
