Curated OER
Mitosis and Meiosis Exercise
In this cell division learning exercise, students answer 15 multiple choice questions about both mitosis and meiosis. Topics include the outcomes of the processes, the phases of the processes and steps within each process.
Curated OER
Human Genetic Disorder Probabilities
In this genetic disorders worksheet, students complete punnett squares for six different human genetic disorders. They predict the outcome of the offspring including the phenotypes and genotypes of each.
Curated OER
The Genetics of Parenthood
Students draws the child's face and compares "mother's" and "father's" perception of characteristics. One student draws the child's face; partner writes a biography of the child at age 30- what is the child like, what have they...
Curated OER
The Genetic Basis of Neurological Disorders
Pupils explore neurological disorders. They examine the presence and absence of discernible genes. Students describe neruological diseases and draw faces of affected persons. They play a human neurology disorders learning game.
Curated OER
The Genetic Basis of Neurological Disorders
Young scholars describe some aspects of known genetic defects on the human neurological condition. They participate in a variety of exercises including drawings, games, and analogies.
Curated OER
Human Inheritance
Students analyze genetic characteristics in a given family tree through the F2 generation. Students apply prior knowledge from Gregor Mendel's study with pea plants and his Laws of Heredity to answer questions.
Curated OER
Mitosis and Meiosis Exercise
In this cell division worksheet, learners answer 13 multiple choice questions based on the process of mitosis and meiosis. Included are questions about the stages of cell division as well as the structures involved.
