1. Dragon Genetics - This activity explores the relationship between genotype and phenotype, using both sex-linked and autosomal dominant and recessive traits. By manipulating alleles (genotype), you create corresponding changes in the dragon's physical appearance (phenotype).
2. Dragon Genetics - In this activity students study the patterns of inheritance of multiple genes in (imaginary) dragons. Teacher Preparation Notes for Dragon Genetics
3. Genetics Practice Problems - large number of interactive questions
4. Investigating Inherited Traits - Lesson plan including procedure using coin tosses (rather than the roll of a die) for determining dominant or recessive traits as students build an imaginary offspring [This expired link is available through the Wayback Machine Internet Archive.

5. Mendel's Peas Web Lab - "The Princess and the Wrinkled Peas." Try to duplicate some of Mendel's work.
6. Probability and Heredity - You will simulate Mendel's experiments by substituting coins for plant characteristics. You will then compare what you had expected with what actually happened.

7. Punnett Square - Interactive
8. Sex-Linked Inheritance Problem Set - The following problems have multiple choice answers. Correct answers are reinforced with a brief explanation. Incorrect answers are linked to tutorials to help solve the problem.
9. Sex-Linked Inheritance Problem Set 2 - The following problems have multiple choice answers. Correct answers are reinforced with a brief explanation. Incorrect answers are linked to tutorials to help solve the problem.
10. Using a Punnett Square - short slide show explaining the use of a Punnett square [the web link given on slide 9 does not work] [This expired slide show is available through the Wayback Machine Internet Archive.

11. Working out Punnett Square Examples - Using Punnett squares, work out the probabilities that children of the parents in each example will have particular phenotypes and genotypes.
