Observe inheritance of a single trait through multiple generations

Super-fast generation cycle of 35 to 40 days

Quick set up, quick results

Students explore Mendelian genetics through growing and pollinating F1 hybrid plants to produce F2 seed. Analysis of inheritance is based on segregation of one gene in the F2 generation. The experiment illustrates the principles of inheritance of unit characters, dominance, and segregation.
