Fundamentals of Genetics: Video Quiz
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...

Understanding Genetic Inheritance: How Genes Control Physical Characteristics
This video explains how physical characteristics in offspring are controlled by the interaction of genes inherited from each parent. It discusses the role of alleles, which are different forms of the same gene, and how multiple genes can...

Understanding Sex-Linked Genetic Disorders
This is a video that explains the concept of sex linked genetic disorders. The video begins by discussing chromosomes and how 22 pairs of chromosomes control characteristics, while one pair carries genes that determine sex (X&Y). The...

What Is Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease. It is caused by a defective gene on one of the chromosomes which has been inherited from the parents. The severity varies greatly from person to person, and largely depends on how much the lungs are...

Genetic Diseases
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...

Beyond Mendelian Genetics Complex Patterns of Inheritance
We've already learned about Mendelian genetics, which taught us about dominant and recessive alleles and the laws that govern their inheritance. But things are not always so simple. There are situations that go beyond this basic...

What are Mendel and Genetic Crosses
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...

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...

Punnett Squares
Mendel proposed that you inherit a gene either from your mother, or from your father. But not a mixture of both. In this video we are going to look at monohybrid crosses using Punnett squares. A monohybrid cross is the study of the...
