Scitable: Gene Inheritance and Transmission

Curated by ACT

Get an in-depth look at gene inheritance and transmission with this webpage. This site explores genetics beyond Mendel and his peas. Investigate transmission genetics with the following topics gene linkage, variation in gene expression, inheritance patterns, genetic recombination, test crosses, and sex chromosomes. Also students can follow the historical journey of the scientific discoveries that have occurred to lead to our understanding of gene inheritance.
