Introduction to Mendelian Genetics

Description

In this activity, students can simulate Mendel’s work and determine patterns of inheritance. Using special chips and Innovating Science’s exclusive “double dice,” students will be able to simulate both monohybrid and dihybrid crosses. After the crosses, students will be able determine genotypic and phenotypic ratios for select traits and compare their values to the theoretical “ideal” values as put forth by Mendel. Kit contains enough materials for 15 groups. Teacher’s manual and student study guide copymasters are included.
