Apologia Biology: Indian Corn Genetics

 It’s Fall.  Michaels has dried Indian Corn for Genetics.  (See?  Every store is a science store.). I grew some this summer from seed.  (See below.  Yes, I’m hard core.)  Let’s use Indian corn for Genetics.  First, here are images of Indian corn if you do not want to buy your own ears.  Here  is a clear overview of corn color genetics.   Here is a Chi Square worksheet.  Here is the student introduction to Mendelian Genetics from Carolina Biological.  Here are the teacher notes.  Here is a good follow-up worksheet.  Lastly, let me show you my corn.  Prepare to be underwhelmed.  We may need to use the Corn Gallery.
