Abstract

The present paper uses the computational power of Microsoft Excel 2007 software system to perform interactive simulations for advanced undergraduate and first year graduate students in biology, biochemistry, biophysics, microbiology and medicine in college and university classroom setting. We developed the required computer algorithm, which uses a built-in pseudo-random number generating function, to computer model two basic Mendel's Laws of heredity in evolution for plant and animal species. The results of simulations corroborate the experimental observations of Mendel's research on inheritance in Pisum hybrid species.
