Mendelian Inheritance: Exploring Genetic Patterns

Prep Time:

2-3 weeks (depending on experimental setup and observation)

Cook Time:

  • Follow safety guidelines for handling and disposing of plant materials.

  • Wear gloves if handling potentially allergenic plant species.

Serves:

14-18 years old


Level:

This experiment aims to deepen students' understanding of Mendelian genetics through hands-on investigation with model organisms. By designing and conducting genetic crosses, students explore fundamental genetic principles and gain practical skills applicable to genetic research.

About the Recipe

  • Investigate Mendelian inheritance patterns using model organisms.

  • Apply Punnett squares to predict genetic outcomes of crosses.

  • Develop experimental design and data analysis skills in genetics.
