Introduction to "Morgan" - A Genetics Tutorial

Morgan is a multimedia tutorial that covers the basic principles of genetics with a molecular slant. Suitable for an advanced high school or introductory college biology class, Morgan is comprised of six levels. Each level can be thought of as a book chapter comprised of 10 screens or pages. After completing each level, try your hand at the short quiz that can be accessed on screen 10.

Morgan is a hypermedia program. Underlined words are hypertext links to frames or pages containing additional information in the form of animations, text, and graphics. Some of the graphics are large, so you may wish to use the resize box to maximize your browser's window size.

As of 4/15/03, the Morgan Tutorial is being hosted on a new and faster Macintosh server. We hope that you find it a more satisfying learning experience!
