About This Simulation
Investigate the principles of Mendelian inheritance and discover how color blindness is inherited by observing chromosomal rearrangement in an animation.
Learning Objectives
- Explain how traits are passed on from parents to their offspring and what causes variation between siblings
- Describe Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance as they are associated with colorblindness
- Analyze dominant and recessive alleles, and how they play a part in an individual’s biological make-up

Learn More About This Simulation
This short, targeted simulation is adapted from the full-length “Mendelian Inheritance” simulation.
Did you know that more than 99% of your genes are identical to those found in any other human being on the planet? In this simulation, you will learn the principle of inheritance and how chromosomal rearrangement leads to color blindness being inherited. Why is color blindness more common in men than women?
Learn the principles of inheritance
Begin by reviewing some of the principles of inheritance. You will learn about how genes are passed on from your parents with cells called gametes. Discover the difference between phenotypes and genotypes. Then find out how a genotype can be represented using letters, and how to show if an allele is dominant or recessive. You are then ready for an animation about gametes and chromosomal rearrangement.
Experience inheritance at the cellular level
Dive deeper into the laws of inheritance as you watch how cells divide to become gametes inside the reproductive system. Watch the cells as the chromosomes duplicate. Then see how genes from the maternal and paternal chromosomes can be swapped in the process called crossing over. The cells will continue to divide until a gamete is formed. Consider how these processes relate to Mendel's laws of inheritance.
Discover how color blindness is passed on
By unraveling the laws of X-linked inheritance, discover why color blindness affects more men than women. Rewatch the animation showing how gametes form, but this time the genes for color blindness are highlighted. A summary chart shows the different possible combinations of chromosomes. Is color blindness a recessive or dominant trait?

North Dakota State College of Science
“They did the simulation at home, then completed the in-person lab within 30 minutes, no questions asked, and passed the quiz with flying colors.”
Lecturer in Human Physiology
University of Westminster
"I saw some of the students who clearly didn’t necessarily like sitting there reading a book discover they could turn on Labster and keep up with the rest of the class because it spoke to them.
Modesto City Schools
"Having something that's engaging for the students gives teachers that opportunity to breathe and get excited again. Because they're seeing the kids light up, they're seeing the kids engage with content."
Wenatchee Valley College
"The question always is, ‘Can we demonstrate that the students are meeting course outcomes?’ Check! We can do that.”
San José State University
"We surveyed over 400 students. More than 90% thought Labster was easy to navigate, and that it was fun, but more importantly, most of them felt confident that they could execute the labs in person. And that confidence is a big deal."

Labster can be integrated within a school's LMS (Learning Management System), and students can access it like any other assignment in their LMS. If your Institution does not choose an LMS integration, students will log in to Labster's Course Manager once they have an account created. Your institution will decide the access method during the sales process.
Labster is only available for purchase by faculty and administration at academic institutions. To procure Labster, simply reach out to us on our website. Schedule a demo, book a meeting to discuss pricing, start a free trial, or simply fill out our contact form.
Labster simulations are created by real scientists and designed with unparalleled interactivity. Unlike point and click competitors, Labster simulations immerse students and encourage mastery through active learning.
Labster supports a wide range of courses at the high school and university level across fields in biology, chemistry and physics. Some simulations mimic lab procedures with high fidelity to train foundational skills, while others are meant to bring theory to life through interactive scenarios.
