Making Genetics Fun with Flashcards

Study Smarter with Flashcards

Flashcards are a great way to memorize key terms and concepts in genetics. Write the word on one side and the definition or a picture on the other. Quiz yourself or a friend to see how many you can get right!

Tips for Using Flashcards

  • Shuffle often so you don’t just memorize the order.
  • Add drawings or color to make cards more memorable.
  • Focus on tricky words like 'allele', 'genotype', and 'phenotype'.

Examples

  • Using flashcards with gene terms to prepare for a quiz.

  • Drawing a Punnett square on a flashcard to practice predicting traits.
