Working out Punnett Square Examples

http://www.athro.com/evo/gen/punexam.html#dihybrid

Monohybrid and dihybrid crosses. More complicated than what we learn this year, but fun to try.

Heredity Jeopardy

http://www.quia.com/cb/44882.html

Can have 1 or 2 players. We know most of the words, but some are not part of our vocabulary.

The Biology Project: Monohybrid Cross Problem Set

http://www.biology.arizona.edu/mendelian_genetics/problem_sets/monohybrid_cross/monohybrid_cross.html

Thirteen multiple choice questions. There are a couple that you will not be able to answer.

Genetics Practice Problems

http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio105/geneprob.htm

These are difficullt and require knowledge of material we will not cover. Good for enrichment.

DNA Replication

http://www.tvdsb.on.ca/westmin/science/snc1ap/Replicat.htm

Shows a quick animation that show how DNA replicates in interphase.

Cell's Alive: Animal Cell Meiosis

http://www.cellsalive.com/meiosis.htm

Biology in Motion: Mitosis & Meiosis

http://biologyinmotion.com/cell_division/index.html

Dragging chromosomes from one stage to the next. Takes some practice to be able to click and drag.

Nova: Mitosis vs. Meiosis

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/baby/divide.html

Compares the two processes. Descriptions are more detailed than textbook.

Meiosis: Introduction, Animation, Conclusion, Quiz

http://www.sumanasinc.com/webcontent/animations/content/meiosis.html

Four tabs that help explain the process of meiosis. More detailed than textbook.

McGraw-Hill: Meiosis

http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter12/animations.html#

Four animations on meiosis. Provides more information than given in class.

Chapter 4 Genetic Disorders & Advances in Genetics

http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/disorders/whataregd/ The University of Utah website with lots of information on several different genetic disorders. Click on a genetic disorder and you will be taken to a site with information on that particular disorder.

http://genome.gov/19016930 Find information on the government's Human Genome Project. Also, useful information about genetic disorders.
