Teaching Guide | Meiosis: Measuring Crossover Frequencies in 𝘚𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘧𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘢
This teaching guide helps educators to integrate the Meiosis: Measuring Crossover Frequencies in Sordaria fimicola simulation into an advanced high school biology lesson. Students classify parental-type and recombinant-type asci and use their observations to determine the map distance between the spore-color gene and the centromere.
