Background:

  • Mathematics and statistical analysis are crucial tools in genetic research.
  • Hands-on experiments are valuable for student understanding of genetic principles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop accessible, hypothesis-driven classroom experiments for teaching genetic research methods.
  • To promote understanding of mathematical and statistical applications in genetics.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing GloFish (transgenic zebrafish) to study Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance patterns.
  • Implementing genetic screens and microscopy to analyze mutations affecting developmental biology.
  • Employing chi-square statistical analysis to test student-generated hypotheses.

Main Results:

  • Developed two adaptable protocols suitable for middle school to undergraduate levels.
  • GloFish experiments are accessible due to readily available materials.
  • Provided detailed instructions, raw data, and example analyses for curriculum integration.

Conclusions:

  • These protocols serve as an adaptable educational tool for genetics.
  • The experiments effectively integrate statistical analysis into genetic research education.
  • Promotes student engagement in hypothesis-driven scientific inquiry.
