Carolina Teacher Tips - Kernels of Truth The large number of kernels on each corn ear gives a close approximation of the theoretical ratio Seed are still in their natural unit, for a convincing demonstration of Mendelian genetics The big visual difference in phenotypes makes recognition and seed-counting easy Ears are laquer-treated to improve appearance and hold seed firmly to the cob Each ear is fumigated, bagged, and labeled Corn is an excellent choice for introducing students to Mendelian inheritance. Carolina does the crosses and supplies F2 ears of corn so you can literally do an instant genetics lab. There are numerous contrasting phenotypes expressed in corn kernels (corn seed). The phenotypes Carolina typically uses involve the color or shape of the kernel. Our phenotypes are easy to recognize, and evne beginners can score them with confidence!

• Complete kit that introduces dihybrid inheritance
• High-quality corn ears last for years
• Reusable kit elements

For a class of 30. An excellent introduction to the dihybrid cross. Students count the phenotypes of corn grains resulting from a dihybrid cross and compare their results to predicted values. The expected phenotypic ratio is 9:3:3:1. Kit is completely reusable with item# 176381 Replacement Student Guide (SG) Set.
