Heredity+and+Reproduction


 * Heredity and Reproduction

||
 * Heredity ||
 * |||| [|**Heredity and Reproduction - USOE**] ||
 * ||  || A great site from the Utah State Office of Education that explores several topics in heredity, including: Chromosomes, Meiosis/Mitosis, Genetic Terminology, Reproduction Genetics, Punnett Squares, DNA ... and much more! ||
 * |||| [|**What Color Eyes Will Your Children Have?**] ||
 * ||  || Use this great interactive "eye calculator" from MIT to predict what color your children's eyes will be! ||
 * |||| [|**Gene Game**] ||
 * ||  || Genes affect how you look, act, and can even affect your health. So, some of the stuff you really like about yourself (and, some of the stuff you don’t) just might be in your genes. Want to know more? Play this great game! ||
 * |||| [|**Inheritance Info**] ||
 * ||  || Learn about the following topics: Variation, What is Inheritance?, Genetics and Society. ||
 * |||| [|**Asexual v. Sexual Heredity**] ||
 * ||  || A look at asexual and sexual heredity, with a discussion of environmental factors. ||
 * |||| [|**BBC - Inheritance**] ||
 * ||  || A look at the following units: What is Inheritance?Variation, Genetics and Society. ||
 * |||| [|**Variation**] ||
 * ||  || A great site from the BBC that answers the following questions: What Causes Variation? Where in your body are the genes that make this difference? Why do most children show the characteristics of both their parents? ||
 * |||| [|**Understanding Heredity**] ||
 * ||  || From PBS, a look at the history of heredity and how scientists determine which traits are passed from parent to child. ||
 * |||| [|**Recessive and Dominant Inheritance**] ||
 * ||  || A nicely illustrated page that provides visual examples of the differences between inheritance types. ||
 * Reproduction ||
 * |||| [|**The Plant Reproduction Tutorial**] ||
 * ||  || An amazing series of multimedia tutorials! The site is fully narrated and features multiple animated demonstrations. Requires the Flash plugin. ||
 * |||| [|**BBC - Reproduction and Gender**] ||
 * ||  || A great page from the BBC on sexual and asexual reproduction. ||
 * |||| [|**Reproduction and Development**] ||
 * ||  || A great overview of sexual/asexual reproduction, human reproduction, and human development. ||
 * |||| [|**How is Sex Determined?**] ||
 * ||  || From the PBS site: "Exactly what happens in the womb to make a boy or a girl? This interactive feature illustrates the astonishing changes that occur during the first 16 weeks of development." ||
 * |||| [|**How Plants Reproduce**] ||
 * ||  || Plants have two methods of reproduction - sexual and asexual. This page gives examples of both! ||
 * |||| [|**Animal Reproduction on Land**] ||
 * ||  || Reproduction on dry land presented problems for animals who were used to laying their eggs in the sea water. Over millions of years the animals developed a number of different reproductive strategies. Learn more here! ||
 * |||| [|**Animal Reproduction**] ||
 * ||  || Great tutorials on How Animals Reproduce, Sexes and Sex Cells, Sperm Cells, Egg Cells, Mating and Fertilization, Reproduction in Birds, Reproduction in Mammals, and Different Ways of Growing. ||
 * |||| [|**Asexual Reproduction Lab**] ||
 * ||  || Asexual reproduction does not involve sex cells or gametes (produced through meiosis). Rather, it is reproduction by mitosis allowing a new, genetically identical individual to be produced. Learn more at this site! ||
 * |||| [|**How Do Beetles Reproduce?**] ||
 * ||  || Mealworm beetles are very different from humans in how they grow up. They pass through 4 different body forms in their complete life cycle. Learn all about beetle reproduction and the life cycle here! ||
 * |||| [|**Some Methods of Asexual Reproduction**] ||
 * ||  || Reproduction and development are necessary for the continuation of any species. Asexual reproduction is a method of reproduction with all the genetic information coming from one parent. View illustrated demonstrations of methods of asexual reproduction here. ||
 * Genetics ||
 * |||| [|**DNA Laboratory**] ||
 * ||  || From the PBS site: "Hair grows from your head, nonstop, day in and day out. The cells of your hair follicles somehow generate all of the protein that make up this hair. How is this protein created? The answers to these questions are DNA replication and protein synthesis." Learn more from this great interactive site! ||
 * |||| [|**BBC - Bitesize DNA**] ||
 * ||  || From the BBC's "Bitesize Revision" site, great lessons on The composition of DNA, The structure of DNA, and DNA replication. ||
 * |||| [|**DNA From the Beginning**] ||
 * ||  || Select the online tutorial for a fantastic interactive lesson on DNA and human heredity! ||
 * |||| [|**DNA - The Instruction Manual for All Life**] ||
 * ||  || An online slide show that introduces students to the role of DNA! ||
 * |||| [|**DNA Replication**] ||
 * ||  || A great online demonstration! Press the PLAY button to watch as a virtual strand of DNA undergoes the replication process. ||
 * |||| [|**Build a Family Tree**] ||
 * ||  || From the PBS site: "The Y chromosome is the keeper of family history on the male side. Written in the letters of DNA, it carries a record of a man's paternal ancestors. Here is your chance to try your hand at being a geneticist and solve a genealogical puzzle using your power of reasoning and understanding of DNA." ||
 * |||| [|**Create a DNA Fingerprint**] ||
 * ||  || From the PBS site: "Find out about DNA fingerprinting as you try to solve the case of the licked lollipop." A great multimedia site! ||
 * |||| [|**Journey into DNA**] ||
 * ||  || From the PBS site: "Where and how does the famous double helix fit into chromosomes, and how do chromosomes relate to the human body? This exploration allows you to travel to the tiny world of DNA." You can also [| Explore a Stretch of DNA Code]! ||   ||
 * ||  || Reproduction and development are necessary for the continuation of any species. Asexual reproduction is a method of reproduction with all the genetic information coming from one parent. View illustrated demonstrations of methods of asexual reproduction here. ||
