Chapter 20 -

http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/virtual_labs/BL_05/BL_05.html - Punnett squares virtual lab activity with monohybrid crosses.  This virtual lab includes analysis questions that can be submitted via email or printed.

http://biologica.concord.org/webtest1/web_labs_mendels_peas.htm - cross breeding peas activity / using a pedigree / and try your luck playing a “princess” game!

http://library.thinkquest.org/20465/g_punnet.html - practice dihybrid crosses with pea plants.  Includes phenotypic ratios.

http://www2.edc.org/weblabs/Mendel/MendelMenu.html - Mendel web activity – great for an introduction to Mendel’s pea experiments

http://www2.edc.org/weblabs/WebLabDirectory1.html - a directory of fun learning games including punnett squares, independent assortment, Gregor Mendel’s peas, crossing over, gene linkage, codominance and incomplete dominance, as well as DNA, meiosis and much more!

http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cExtAccessSecure.dspResource&ResourceID=382 – breed mice in dihybrid crosses to investigate phenotypic and genotypic outcomes.  Use the short multiple choice quiz to assess your learning.

http://nobelprize.org/medicine/educational/landsteiner/index.html - practice your blood typing skills by completing this simulation.  You will determine the blood type of three patients who are in desperate need of a blood transfusion, then provide them with the correct blood types.
