Fruit fly Genetics Kit
Product Code : JA-GAIE-6886
The Fruit fly Genetics Kit (SKU JA-GAIE-6886) is a fruit fly genetics kit that teaches Drosophila melanogaster inheritance without live flies or cultures. Students perform crosses with snap-apart plastic pieces printed with the features of male and female flies of four types, and use them to model sex determination, single and double factor inheritance, sex linkage, dominance and recessiveness. A teacher's guide and student instruction sheet are included, and the kit is supplied by JaincoLab.
Specifications
The kit contains 15 sheets each of snap-apart plastic pieces showing male and female fruit flies of four types, with a teacher's guide and student instruction sheet; no live flies are used.
