Heredity

This program introduces the idea of the inheritance of traits. Attention is given to some of the fascinating features which are heredity-based not only in humans, but also in other plants and animals. The work of the father of modern genetics, Gregor Mendel, is outlined. The inheritance of certain recessive and dominant traits is explored. Other terminology includes: traits, inheritance, genes, dominant, and recessive.

Fundamentals of Genetics

In this program Mendel's work is explored in greater detail by using probability to make predictions of the inheritance of specific traits. The use of the Punnett Square is illustrated through easy-to-understand animations. Other terminology includes: alleles, homozygous alleles, heterozygous alleles, dominant trait, recessive trait, genotype, phenotype, and hybrid.

Genetics In Action

This video builds on the genetic work of Mendel and takes the student through additional genetic discoveries made in the twentieth century. The Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment are plainly illustrated. The notions of incomplete dominance, as well as the effect of multiple alleles are explored. The role mutations play is also discussed. Other terminology includes: multiple alleles, incomplete dominance, genetic disorder and mutations.
