Here's an exciting way to learn important facts and get ready for a life science test! In this episode we'll be looking at genetic adaptation.

This video explains the theory of evolution through natural selection, as proposed by Charles Darwin in 1859. It explores how organisms adapt and change over time through genetic mutations and environmental pressures, leading to the...

Part 1/3 of Entrepreneur chapter: This video is an introduction to the topic of entrepreneurship, led by two business professors. The video features successful entrepreneurs discussing their backgrounds and personal characteristics that...

Genes are the true replicators, which can help explain a variety of counter-intuitive traits.

This live-action video program is about the word adapt. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word adapt through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated...

We just learned about X-linked genes, but what about gene linkage in general? If two genes are on the same chromosome, we can say that they are linked. Are they always inherited together? Can the alleles rearrange in some way? Well don't...

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:...

This video introduces the concept of traits and discusses the difference between inherited traits and acquired traits. The video also mentions that traits can be passed on from parents to offspring through the process of heredity.

The nugget explains the location, number and structure of chromosomes and genes.

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...

In this video, we explore the concept of natural selection, proposed by Charles Darwin. Natural selection is a process where individuals with traits best suited to their environment survive and pass on these favorable traits to their...

This video discusses the life and work of Charles Darwin, focusing on his theory of evolution through natural selection. The video concludes by discussing the impact of Darwin's theories on various fields of study and the controversies...

This video explores the use of AI-based video interviews in the hiring process, how they work, and potential issues with bias. It also provides tips for candidates on how to prepare for AI interviews and emphasizes the importance of...

We touched upon sexual selection when we learned about natural selection. Essentially when there is a variance in the reproductive success of a particular sex for a given species, secondary sex characteristics will develop in that...

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...

Gregor Mendel that came up with the correct hypothesis for how inheritance of traits works. Mendel published his ideas in 1866, but it took until the 1900’s for his ideas to be recognised. Mendel studied the inheritance of different...

For all of human history, we've been aware of heredity. Children look like their parents. But why? When Gregor Mendel pioneered the field of genetics, he began to try to answer that question, and now that we know about chromosomes, all...

This exciting program takes a glimpse at some of the amazing advances in modern genetics. Starting with the discovery of DNA, students will be exposed to advances such as the creation of recombinant DNA, vaccines, the human genome...

A significant percentage of the population believes in astrology. This is the notion that the positions of the stars and planets in the sky at the moment of your birth have an influence on your characteristics, and that their positions...

Researchers at Michigan State University (MSU) have demonstrated how a new virus evolves, shedding light on how easy it can be for diseases to gain dangerous mutations. The findings appear in the current issue of the journal Science. The...

Why do we think there are only two genders? Because there are cultures that believe there are many more than two genders. And what's the difference between sex and gender?

This live-action video program is about the word Adaptation. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word Adaptation through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and...

Now that we've learned about molecules and cells and the simplest forms of life, we are ready to understand how all of life on earth evolved from a single common ancestor. Given our newfound knowledge about the chromosomal theory of...
