Lab 02 - Mendelian genetics

Today we did a lab in which we examined a little bit of Mendelian genetics, faking crosses in fruit flies.

We focused on monohybrid and dihybrid crosses in, both, autosomal and X-linked traits. Students did observations that illustrated the principles of segregation and independent assortment, mainly based on test crosses.

Next week: Lab 03 - Epistasis and hypothesis testing
