Law of Independent Assortment
This animation is one of many on a web-site developed by McGraw-Hill. These videos accompany their higher education biology textbook, and as a result, some of the animations are too detailed for the high school level. All videos are accompanied by clear graphics, a written transcript and an auditory explanation, which will serve all learning styles.
One of the great features of these videos is that they can be paused and replayed. This feature allows the teacher to use this resource in a variety of ways. This particular animation provides a wonderful explanation of the Law of Independent Assortment. Students often wonder how so much diversity can be acquired with the twenty-three pairs of chromosomes. This animation explains that concept in a clear, succinct way.
