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: Recognize that mutated genes follow similar rules to non-mutated genes. Practice using Punnett squares and solving probability problems. return to top
