Punnett Square Builder Fill the cross grid to predict offspring — then work backwards from a ratio. 
DNA Lab Build the matching strand, transcribe to mRNA, or fix a point mutation. 
Predict the Cross Guess the offspring ratio before the grid fills in. 
Pedigree Detective Read a family tree for dominance and carriers. All activities
Genetics labs
Punnett Square Builder Fill the cross grid to predict offspring, then flip it — work backwards from an offspring ratio to name the parents' genotypes. DNA Lab Build the complementary DNA strand, transcribe DNA into mRNA and read the codon chart, or fix a point mutation like a gene editor. Bead Box Split the beads and discover segregation — how alleles separate into gametes. Predict the Cross Guess the offspring ratio before the grid fills in — then check. Dihybrid Cross Follow TWO traits at once — predict the 9:3:3:1 ratio, then fill the 4×4 grid and see why traits sort independently. Pedigree Detective Read a family tree for dominance and carriers — real inheritance detective work.
Practice & play
Mixed Practice A short round across the kits you have played — brought back to make it stick. TraitForge Sprint Race your OWN best on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss. Trick Questions Brain-teasers with a twist — spot why the obvious answer is a trap. Teach the Cast Teach a genetics idea to a cast member still learning it — teaching makes it stick. Gene Duel 2–4 players take turns on one device — same questions, highest first-try score wins. Genetics Expedition A progression trail through every kit — clear each stop of real practice, then move on. Progress Your levels, days active, and how each skill area is coming along — saved on this device. Progress report For grown-ups — a private on-device snapshot mapped to the skill areas.

Part of the protein-structure pathway
A gene is an instruction, and a changed letter can change the protein it builds.

Suds DNA extraction -
Bead Gene as discrete inheritable unit -
Rungs DNA structure / base-pairing -
Skein Chromosome packaging -
Match Allele pairing (Punnett crosses) -
Deal Recombination / why siblings differ -
Trace Lineage / heredity across generations -

Nurture Environment shapes genes / nature and nurture -
Snip Mutation + CRISPR (variation + intervention) -
Scruple The bioethics decision; just because we CAN change a gene does not decide whether we SHOULD, so ask who it affects, what could go wrong and whether it can be undone
