Genetics & Heredity

The biggest unit in the store, and the one teachers come back for. It runs from Gregor Mendel and an introduction to heredity through Punnett squares, pedigree charts, genotype and phenotype, mitosis and meiosis, DNA structure and replication, variation of traits and genetic disorders, and on into biotechnology careers. Projects and activities — the Create a Monster genotype activity, the Punnett squares animal project, pedigree task cards — sit alongside the core lessons.
