Kinesthetically Exploring Chromosomes from Cell Division and Meiosis to Mendelian Genetics

Physical models are widely used to help students understand what happens to chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. They can also be used to explicate the genotype-phenotype map. This laboratory exercise combines both these subjects at a level appropriate for a college-level genetics class. Students...
