Below are some other interesting links:

 
The Biology Project
The Biology Project offers excellent short tutorials on several topics, including Mendelian genetics, cell biology (mitosis, meiosis), human biology, and molecular biology.
 
MIT Biology Hypertextbook
The Hypertextbook contains chapters on many different aspects of biology. Chapters relevant to our course include Mendelian Genetics, the Central Dogma (relationship between DNA and proteins), Prokaryote Genetics, and Recombinant DNA.
 
Virtual Fly Lab
The Virtual Fly Lab is great! Use the fly lab for experiments to determine the genetic basis of real traits in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. This is much like the work Mendel did. Perform different crosses. Observe ratios in progeny. Figure out what genetic models fit the data. Design other crosses to test your hypothesis. The thrill of scientific discovery, but the results come back in seconds instead of years!
 
A Hypermedia Glossary of Genetic Terms
A Hypermedia Glossary of Genetic Terms provides short definitions for many genetic terms. Great if you just can't quite remember what RAPD stands for!
 
Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man
Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man is an excellent source for rigorous scientific information on human genetic attributes obeying Mendelian inheritance. For instance, the database contains extensive information on cystic fibrosis.
 
GeneMap'98
GeneMap'98 represents a state of the art compilation of genetic information collected as part of the human genome project.
