Variation and Inheritance
FruFly Genetics kit
● Contains simple activities designed to
teach basic fruit fly genetics without
using live flies
● Students perform crosses using plastic
pieces printed with features allowing
them to observe and simulate sex
determination, single factor
inheritance, double factor inheritance,
sex linkage, dominance and
recessiveness
● Includes 15 sheets each with snap
apart features showing four types of
male and female fruit flies
● Teachers’ guide and student
instruction sheet master included

Understanding Evolution: Inheritance and Change DVD
This DVD explains the principles of
evolution, how DNA and genetic
mutations create new species, and the
fossil record of evolution:
● Principles of evolution - outline of
evolution through natural selection,
Darwin and Wallace
● DNA and cell division - mitosis and
meiosis, how genetic information
passes through generations
● Alleles and DNA mutation - lethal,
neutral and beneficial mutations
● Natural selection in action - how
insects can evolve resistance to
insecticide
● Comparative DNA sequencing electrophoresis, DNA matching,
cytochrome-C comparisons
● Factors affecting allele frequency genetic drift, bottle neck effect, founder
effect, sub-species
● Fossils - what are they, how they’re
formed, bio-geographical distribution
and dating
● Divergent and convergent evolution plus analogous structures and parallel
evolution
● Running time: 30min
● Evolution of ancestral body structures comparative anatomy, the Pentadactyl
limb, homologous structures, vestigial
structures, evolution demonstrated in
embryonic development
