Curated OER
Bacterial Transformation - Biology Teaching Thesis
Students explain the following processes: bacteria transformation, genetic recombination, and antibacterial breakdown of bacteria. They follow lab protocol and use the scientific method: to make predications, and to explain an unexpected...

Reviewing Mitosis/Mitosis
There are technically two presentations in this collection of slides. The first presentation is a single-slide comparison of plant cell division and animal cell division. The second focuses on the steps of meiosis and the genetic...

Scitable: Chromosomes and Cytogenetics
A library of information on chromosomes and their role in heredity. Articles found on the website study chromosome structure, chromosome composition, chromosome abnormalities, roles that chromosome plays in sex determination, and changes...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Meiosis
Why don't you look exactly like your brother or sister? Meiosis involves the reducing of genetic material and chromosome shuffling which results in different genetic combinations. In this activity, students will view a computer model of...
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Modern Genetics
Try your hand at mating dragons to learn about genetic recombination, meiosis, and inherited traits. Understand how chromosomes separate in meiosis with a science animation. Then change alleles for the dragons to see what happens to...
