You might know, or have seen somebody with Down’s syndrome, but in this video, you are going to learn what it is and why it happens. Down’s syndrome is caused by a change in the DNA. You probably remember that any change in the structure...

In this live-action program viewers will learn from a biological standpoint, the only point of reproduction is to transmit DNA from one generation to the next. Students will come to understand that organisms reproduce in two ways:...

In this live-action program viewers will learn that a monogenic disorder is a genetic disease caused by small-scale genetic differences that cause the malfunction of a single gene and that many diseases result from such genetic...

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...

Cancer is the ultimate expiration date for biological life. But what is it? How does it occur? Is there anything we can do about it? Let's take a brief look at this incredibly complex issue.

After going through Darwin's work, it's time to get up to speed on our current models of evolution. Much of what Darwin didn't know is now known and understood very well, so we can meticulously go through much of the evidence we see for...
