Teaching Genetic Linkage and Multiple Crossovers with Sets of Cards as Chromosomes

TMathematical models help students identify and understand underlying scientific patterns, while improving and reinforcing quantitative skills. However, they are often omitted from introductory undergraduate science classes. As a result, math-heavy theories, like optimal foraging theory, are often o...
