Important! If you cannot launch anything from this database, please follow the step-by-step instructions on the software page.

Please Note: Many models are linked to directly from within the database. When an activity employs our scripting language, Pedagogica, as do some of the "guided" activities, the initial download may take several minutes. Subsequent activities will not take a long time. See this page for further instructions.

	Overview and Learning Objectives Students will be able to: understand how X-linked genes are inherited; understand the difference between autosomal and x-linked inheritance. return to top



	Classroom Practice Click "Instructor" and then "Log In" to start. The special case of inheritance in X-linkage is investigated in this activity by following what happens to genes located on the X chromosome. Pattern recognition is introduced as a tool for discriminating between autosomal and x-linkage inheritance. return to top
