Quantitative Variation, Selection and Inheritance with Fast Plants

View this Resource

This article describes how Fast Plants can be used to help students understand how, through genetic selection associated with phenotypic variation, traits are passed on to future generations. This resource includes information about how to analyze variation in a population and selectively breed to change the frequency of a particular trait in future generations. Advanced Placement teachers who are teaching AP Inquiry Investigation #1, Artificial Selection, will find this article relevant to that inquiry.
