Carolina BioKits®: Albino Corn

Product Code: 177050

Description

Product Details
The perfect budget-friendly tool for teaching Mendelian genetics—your students witness dominance/recessiveness firsthand! They investigate the basic principles of inheritance by growing and observing corn seedlings. The seedlings are generated from albino-green hybrid self-pollination and reveal that albinism is recessive. The seedlings segregate in a ratio of 3 green:1 albino, and students can infer that the parent plant was heterozygous for albinism.
