Tony Crayfish Genetics Primer

Discover genetics by changing the experiment. Cross pea plants, reveal a Punnett square, map linked genes and watch populations evolve. Tony Crayfish Genetics Primer connects familiar observations to the genetic explanations behind them through illustrations, interactive simulations and measured human variation data. EXPLORE TWELVE LABORATORIES - Mendelian genetics: segregation, independent assortment and expected versus observed offspring. - Beyond Mendel: incomplete dominance, codominance, environmental effects, penetrance, maternal effects and X-linked inheritance. - Genetic mapping: two-point and three-point crosses, recombination and centimorgans. - Epistasis: how interactions between genes change visible traits. - Quantitative genetics: many-gene traits, sources of variation, heritability and parent-offspring or twin comparisons. - Population genetics: Hardy-Weinberg proportions,…
