Mendellian Genetics Simulation
Directions:
- Partner with one other student
- One student visit the Mendellian Genetics Simulation site to begin the simulation (simulation may not work in Google Chrome browser).
- Second student record answers in this template below as you work through the simulation; be sure to share the file with your partner.
- TURN-IN:
- Rename your personal assignment in the following way: Class_Last Name_First Name_Assignment Name
- Example: 3B_Rott_Dan_Assignment Name
- Move or put your personal copy of the Lab into your “Biology Turn in Folder” Google Doc Collection/Folder.
- Turn in your assignment to Mr. Rott by using the following turn in link
- Turn in your assignment to Ms. Brill/Childers by using the following turn in link
List all of the traits you can see in Mendel's plants:
If you missed some, list them all here
Crosses
Make 3 crosses from the original plants.
Cross | Parent 1 Traits (list all 7) | Parent 2 Traits (list all 7) | Offspring Traits (list how many of each trait for all 7 traits) |

- What can you summarize from the 3 crosses you made (can you identify any alleles for the different traits as dominant or recessive)?
- What happens when a plant with round peas is crossed with itself?
- What happens when a plant with wrinkled peas is crossed with itself?
- What does this suggest about the pea shape trait?
- What does dominant mean?
- What does recessive mean?
- Identify which allele for the different traits in pea pod plants is dominant and which is recessive by writing it in the shape.
7 Traits | Dominant | Recessive |
