In this interactive activity, students will learn the concepts and techniques behind DNA profiling and how to interpret DNA autoradiograms and evaluate DNA profiles to determine familial relationships.
This exercise from The Biology Project is designed to introduce students to the events that occur in the cell cycle and the process of mitosis that divides the duplicated genetic material, creating two identical daughter cells. It includes tutorial readings and multiple choice questions to test students' knowledge.
In this exercise, students review information about how color blindness is inherited and complete several problem solving exercises applying their knowledge.
The purpose of this problem set is to present an introduction to the use of the Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) method to characterize human DNA samples as applied in paternity analysis and sex crimes investigations. For each problem there is a tutorial feature that will explain the science behind the problem.
With this problem set, students can assess their understanding of the dihybrid cross. For each problem there is a tutorial feature that will explain the science behind the problem.
This webpage offers a series of multiple choice questions that will assess student understanding of concepts associated with human genetics.
In this exercise, students complete a simulation of human karyotyping using digital images of chromosomes from actual human genetic studies. They will arrange chromosomes into a completed karyotype, and interpret their findings just as if they were working in a genetic analysis program at a hospital or clinic.
This exercise from The Biology Project is designed to help students understand the events that
occur in process of meiosis, which takes place to produce our gametes. It includes tutorial
readings and multiple choice questions to test students' knowledge.
With this problem set, students can assess their understanding of the monohybrid cross. For each problem there is a tutorial feature that will explain the science behind the problem.
