Using the Internet to Do Punnett Squares
What a fun way to explore Mendelian Genetics! Using a computer connected to the Internet, beginning biologists construct and use Punnett squares of monohybrid crosses to explain how genetic traits are passed to offspring. Other websites...

"Easter" Egg Genetics
Using plastic Easter eggs to represent parent phenotypes, genetics enthusiasts simulate the passing of alleles. They record the phenotype of each half of the egg, one representing the mother's and one representing the father's. They...

Mendel's Laws of Heredity
In this heredity worksheet, students will review the work Mendel did on predicting how traits were passed down from generation to generation. Then students will review monohybrid and dihybrid crosses and Punnett squares. This worksheet...

Education Development Center: Mendel's Peas
There are many ways to learn about Gregor Mendel and his pea experiments. This interactive tutorial requires users to actually plant, grow, and cross different plants to observe their traits. Pedigrees are also used to help show dominant...

Pbs Learning Media: Some Genes Are Dominant
This interactive activity, adapted from the Dolan DNA Learning Center, illustrates how Gregor Mendel used purebred yellow and green peas to show that some genes are dominant and others are recessive.
