Corn Genetics—
Super Value Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Students count the corn kernels of various phenotypes on ears of genetic corn. Based upon their data and calculated predictions, students will be able to establish the genotype of the parent corn that produced their laboratory specimen. Two different types of F2 corn ears are provided in the kit. Some display an expected F2 dihybrid 9:3:3:1 ratio while an alternative set of ears display a 1:1:1:1 dihybrid F2 ratio. The genetic corn ears can be reused year after year. Kit includes eight 9:3:3:1 ears, eight 1:1:1:1 ears, marking pins, reproducible student handouts, and valuable Instructor’s Notes with tips and sample data.
Super Value Kit is complete for 16 student groups. All materials are reusable.
Fruit Fly Genetics Simulation—
Super Value Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Want to perform a fruit fly genetics lab without setting up and maintain- ing live Drosophila cultures? This kit is for you! Students use hands-on card activity to investigate all of the key genetics concepts, including genotypes versus phenotypes, dominant versus recessive traits, and Punnett squares. Multiple generations of monohybrid, dihybrid, sex- linked, and backcrosses can be simulated and analyzed. The results of each cross are clearly displayed using the detailed, colorful fruit fly genetics cards and genetic-cross sheets Students gain a concrete under- standing of Drosophila’s genetic makeup and the principles of genetics. Reliable results are guaranteed—no contamination of cultures can occur here! Includes detailed Instructor’s Notes and extensive background material.
Super Value Kit is complete for five groups of six students working at the same time. All materials are reusable.

Heredity and Environment—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Which is more important—heredity or environment? Students investi- gate this age-old question using albino tobacco seeds from heterozygous parents—ones that should produce a ratio of three green for every one albino tobacco plant. Some seeds are germinated in the light and others are germinated in the dark. Students must use their data to defend which is more important—heredity or environment. An excellent experiment to serve as a starting point for a more in-depth examination of this continuing question.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
