Meiosis: The Diversity Engine

Covers the chromosomal basis of inheritance, the process of meiosis, and the mathematical patterns of genetic transmission from parents to offspring. Meiosis: The Diversity Engine turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.

Covers the chromosomal basis of inheritance, the process of meiosis, and the mathematical patterns of genetic transmission from parents to offspring. It focuses on Meiosis and Genetic Diversity, Mendelian Genetics, Non-Mendelian Genetics (Incomplete Dominance, Codominance), Sex-Linked Traits, Gene Linkage and Mapping, Environmental Effects on Phenotype from the “Unit 5: Heredity” section.

AP Biology is an introductory college-level course that explores the complexity of living organisms through inquiry-based investigations and hands-on laboratory work. The curriculum is organized around four Big Ideas: E… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Unit 5: Heredity” section.

You'll build intuition for Meiosis and Genetic Diversity, Mendelian Genetics, Non-Mendelian Genetics (Incomplete Dominance, Codominance), Sex-Linked Traits, Gene Linkage and Mapping, Environmental Effects on Phenotype — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on AP Biology alone.
