Or visit MendelRoom, accessible through BioMoo or Diversity University. Virtual FlyLab Play the role of research geneticist and learn the rules of genetic inheritance by designing and mating Drosophila melanogaster with various phenotypes. Visitors design matings between female and male fruit flies containing genetic mutations-bristles, body color, antennae, eye color, eye shape, wing size, wing shape, wing veins, and wing angle. Other useful information at the site includes tips for using Virtual FlyLab for genetics instruction. This site provides a free, online program for restriction mapping nucleotide sequences-a great tool for fostering analytical skills.
Participants also can specify the kind of sequence analysis desired and the enzymes to use.
