A pinch of adenine, a dash of thymine and ta-da, you have life! Well, it's not quite that simple, but through this series of activities and experiments young scientists learn about the structure of DNA and how it contains the recipe...

It's alive! Turn young biologists into mad scientists with this engaging genetics activity. Using their knowledge of chromosomes and genes, students create dragons with unique sets of traits,...

Have you ever wondered why you aren't taller or invisible? It all comes down to your dominant and recessive genes. Introduce your class members to genetics with a presentation that includes worksheets for young geneticists to...

A handout on genetic inheritance begins with a reading on alleles and how they can result in albinism. Junior geneticists learn to complete Punnett squares and participate in a coin toss simulation of allele pairing. They also learn...

Young scholars learn that heredity comes down to the flip of a coin with this cross-curricular math and science lesson. Using smiley faces as a model, students toss coins to determine which dominant or recessive traits...

Explore the science behind Earth's amazing diversity of life with this lesson on genetics. Looking at specific traits in piebald deer, carnations, and roan cattle, young scientists use Punnett...

For this biology worksheet, learners answer 72 multiple-choice and short-answer questions in preparation for the biology final exam.

Eighteen questions ask pupils whether certain behavior or trait is based on nature or nurture. Scholars take a quiz, reflect on their answers, then challenge a friend or family member to complete it.

This lesson focuses on DNA including it's structure,components,and how it goes together to form genomes. It also provides to links to a video and a test.

This interactive lab will enhance learning about DNA by virtually translating a gene.

A complete, student-paced lesson on genetics and inheritance. Students work their way through illustrations and animated tutorials, and answer review questions along the way. There is a self-checking quiz at the end of the lesson.

Given illustrations or partial DNA sequences, students will identify changes in DNA and the significance of these changes.

This lesson focuses on genetic inheritance including defining key terms such as chromosomes, alleles, DNA, genes, genome, and more. Links to a video and a test are provided.

Mutations can cause a permanent change in the DNA of an organism. Over many generations, organisms have adapted through mutation which involves small changes between organisms which may allow that organism to compete better for survival....

A webpage briefly explaining how a mutation in DNA and RNA can cause the wrong protein to be synthesized. Understand that DNA & RNA are long string of nucleotides that codes protein. The mutations shown include deletion, duplication,...
