Type: Interactive simulation sim-id: genetics-problem-solver
Library: p5.js
Status: Specified

A step-by-step interactive tool where students input observed phenotype counts from a genetic cross. The simulation calculates expected values for multiple genetic models (3:1, 9:3:3:1, 15:1, 9:7, etc.), performs chi-square tests for each, and ranks the models by how well they fit the data. Students can compare p-values across models to determine which genetic mechanism best explains their observations.
