BIO 202 — Evolution
Interactive simulations · Coe College
These are short, self-contained lessons. Each one asks you to make a prediction before you touch any controls, then lets you test that prediction against a simulation and against real data.
Lessons
Lesson 0
Prediction, noise, and the regression line
What is your best guess for y, and how wrong will you typically be?
Lesson 1
Variation and directional change
"No trend" is a distribution, not a single number. How big a trend does it take before you can see one?
Lesson 2
Model building and residual reading
Same data, two models, different stories. What the residuals tell you about the variable you forgot.
Lesson 3
Mendel, linkage, and gene dropping
Drop alleles through a pedigree and watch drift appear from nothing but fair coins.
