 * Classical Genetics: **


 * Heredity **:

This site does a good job of explaining what a chromosome is (a good little reminder for getting ready for the genetics unit)
 * What is a Chromosome?**
 * University of Utah:** ([])

This video gives a good explanation of heredity, and it includes independent assortment. The explanation is easy to follow, and it is short, but make sure you pay attention to the colors of the genes when you watch the video, and notice that the daughter received genes from her mother and father, and that when she then had a child the baby had genes from both of its maternal grandparents. Good video.
 * What is heredity?**
 * University of Utah:** ([])

This video does a good job describing what a trait is, and it then talks about how the trait can be passed from one generation to the next. It also provides a great explanation of dominant versus recessive alleles. This is a good simple video.
 * What is a trait?**
 * University of Utah:** ([])

This link takes you an animation that helps to describe how independent assortment works. Remember, independent assortment is the crucial step that allows offspring to receive a random selection of each one of the parents chromosomes, so it is important to understand.
 * Independent Assortment and the creation of gametes:**
 * Sumanas, Inc:** http://www.sumanasinc.com/webcontent/animations/content/independentassortment.html

this Bill Nye video does a good job laying out what Mendel's experiments were all about. It doesn't go in depth, but it gives a good first look.
 * Mendel's work: **
 * Bill Nye**: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDpLDBaEBjk)

This is a fun interactive experimenting site that allows you to recreate some of Mendel's experiments. It is a little confusing, but it is quite fun, and it does a good job of making you thing about genetics.
 * Mendel's Peas: (**http://www2.edc.org/weblabs/Mendel/mendel.html)

This website explains how Mendel did his work is a straightforward manner. It is not great, but it helps set up how he did his experiments.
 * DNA from the beginning**:( http://www.dnaftb.org/dnaftb/1/concept/)


 * Simple Dominance: **

This video does a good job describing what a trait is, and it then talks about how the trait can be passed from one generation to the next. It also provides a great explanation of dominant versus recessive alleles as well. This is a good simple video, that should help you clarify simple dominance.
 * University of Utah:** (http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/begin/traits/)

This video give a great explanation of how simple dominance works. It is basically a 17min lecture and animation that explains how simple dominance and heredity work. If you are still confused after my lecture, you could try this.
 * Youtube:** (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEUvRrhmcxM&NR=1&feature=fvwp)

This does a reasonable job explaining how simple dominance works, and it shows you with examples from Mendel's experiments
 * DNA from the beginning:** (http://www.dnaftb.org/dnaftb/4/concept/index.html)


 * Punnet Squares and Crosses: **

This link gives a great explanation and interactive activity for doing single trait crosses and dual trait crosses. The activity fun, and is a great way to study inheritance of simple dominant traits and punnet squares.
 * Sumanas, Inc:** (http://www.sumanasinc.com/webcontent/animations/content/mendel/mendel.html)

This site has a fun set of questions that relate the inheritance of traits. The first few problems sets relate to dominance, then muti-hybrid crosses, than sex linkage, then partial dominance and co-dominance.
 * Pearson Hall**: (http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/inheritance/intro.html)

This site has practice problems for you to do with regards to different types of crosses and different types of gene interactions
 * Arizona U:**( http://www.biology.arizona.edu/mendelian_genetics/mendelian_genetics.html)

Di- Hybrid cross problems
 * Kansas U:** (http://www.k-state.edu/biology/pob/genetics/dihy.htm)

Incomplete dominance
 * Kansas U**: (http://www.k-state.edu/biology/pob/genetics/incom.htm)


 * HONORS STUDY QUESTIONS!!:** ([[file:Possible Genetics Problems (honors).doc]]) This study guide has a lot of questions which should help you determine how well you know how to do: complete dominance, partial dominance, co-dominance, and di-hybrid crosses, sex-linked traits, and blood type problems. Use it for Tuesday's test!
