Interactive Demo
Mendelian Inheritance Simulator
Mendelian Inheritance Simulator is a free, interactive learning demo from the High School Biology course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Law of Segregation, Law of Independent Assortment, Punnett squares, Genotype vs. Phenotype. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 6 buttons. This demo lives in the “Foundations of Genetics: Mendelian Inheritance” section of the course.
How to use this demo
- Use the “PP”, “Pp”, “pp”, “Breed 1 Offspring” buttons to trigger actions or reset the demo.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Law of Segregation
- Law of Independent Assortment
- Punnett squares
- Genotype vs. Phenotype
Frequently asked questions
What does the Mendelian Inheritance Simulator demo do?
The laws of inheritance and the use of Punnett squares to predict genetic outcomes. Mendelian Inheritance Simulator turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.
What High School Biology concept does Mendelian Inheritance Simulator teach?
The laws of inheritance and the use of Punnett squares to predict genetic outcomes. It focuses on Law of Segregation, Law of Independent Assortment, Punnett squares, Genotype vs. Phenotype from the “Foundations of Genetics: Mendelian Inheritance” section.
What can I control in Mendelian Inheritance Simulator?
The “PP”, “Pp”, “pp”, “Breed 1 Offspring” buttons run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does Mendelian Inheritance Simulator fit into the High School Biology course?
The Client Challenge course is a comprehensive high school biology curriculum designed to guide students through the fundamental pillars of life sciences. The course spans from the molecular foundations of life and cell… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Foundations of Genetics: Mendelian Inheritance” section.

What will I understand better after using Mendelian Inheritance Simulator?
You'll build intuition for Law of Segregation, Law of Independent Assortment, Punnett squares, Genotype vs. Phenotype — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on High School Biology alone.
