Fundamentals of Genetics: Hybrid Cross
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...

Mendelian Genetics and Punnett Squares
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...

Hardy-Weinberg Principle
After learning to calculate probabilities for single examples of genetic crosses in a previous lecture, students are exposed to the concept that allele and genotype frequencies in a population remain in constant equilibrium. A reasonable...

Introduction to Heredity
Young scientists generally love to learn how certain traits can be explained by a direct combination of alleles from their parents. Here, they can examine how a phenotype is often expressed when one allele is recessive and the other is...
