BioLab Fly Genetic Simulation Software

Get to Know BioLab Fly A Breed Apart
	BioLab Fly Genetics come to life as students study the fascinating physical traits of fruit flies and how characteristics are passed from parent organisms to their offspring. A wealth of mind-opening activities take the mystery out of genetics and introduce concepts that enhance students’ understanding of their world
	Student Scientists Get Hands-On Practice With: F₁ Cross Breed two pure bred organisms to see how dominant and recessive genes affect the characteristics of the offspring. F₂ Cross See how specimens with mixed genotypes vary the results. Sex-Linked Cross Determine which traits are carried only through a particular chromosome and thus are linked with a gender. Dihybrid Cross Do a cross between individuals that involve two pairs of contrasting traits. Fly Breeder Exercise the mind with this open-ended activity while analyzing twenty-six different physical characteristics.
		Teacher-Developed BioLab Fly follows tried and true educational practices as each student receives pre-lab instruction, thorough open-ended lab simulation, and post-lab reinforcement. A collection of printable worksheets is included on the CD. Students use the Fly Editor to generate flies with 26 different characteristics.

Learn By Doing.
Students develop reasoning skills as they observe parental genotypes, build a Punnett square, predict the characteristics of the offspring and test their prediction.

This step-by-step investigation exposes students to simple and complex genetic principles.

Interactive Log
BioLab Fly features a log that records progress and allows the teacher to track student learning.

On-Screen Glossary
BioLab Fly includes a glossary of scientific terms to build vocabulary and increase comprehension.

In-depth Lab Experience.
In four detailed labs, students study the principles of genetics and learn about dominant, recessive, sex-linked and autosomal characteristics.
