Mendelian Inheritance: From genes to traits

In this lab you will get to know the basic principles of inheritance. You will learn about Mendel's laws and experiments and discover how genetic disorders can be linked to gender. At the end of the lab you will apply the concepts to find out if color blindness is inheritable.

Following below is a list of the relevant theory pages:

• Color blindness

• Genotype

• Phenotype

• Allele

• Hybridization

• Punnett Square

• Pedigree Tree

• Law of Segregation

• Law of Independent Assortment
