Optional

Online Biology Book - Introduction to Genetics
Mike Farabee's online text pulls together many different resources. This section includes "the monk and his peas", monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, mutations and genetic terms.

Basic Principles of Genetics - Palomar Community College
This site is from a physical anthropology course, and it includes a good level of detail about Mendalian genetics.

Designer Genes
This site has been up for awhile (last updated in 1998), but the information is still good. I'd recommend clicking on "genetics", then on "a short history of genetics".
