Corn Dihybrid Genetic Kit

With this kit, students learn the basic principles of dihybrid inheritance and independent assortment using corn.

 

Students first observe how traits of kernel color and nutrient composition pass from 1 generation to the next.

 

Then they construct an hypothesis describing the mode of inheritance for each trait.

 

This kit is designed for 30 students working cooperatively in pairs.
