This video will explain this new offering and dive into the basics of Mendelian Genetics, including dominant and recessive alleles, genotypes and phenotypes and Mendel鈥檚 pea plant experiments. It will end with an activity that will allow students to 鈥渂uild a creature鈥 based on the results of a coin toss determining which alleles it inherits.

Presented by Nicole Endacott, 优蜜视频 Program Coordinator

You will need blank paper, a writing utensil, colored pencils or markers, and a coin or dice.
