Genetics

Explore the experiments and evidence that established DNA as the molecule of heredity.

Understand Gregor Mendel’s laws and how traits are inherited in predictable patterns.

Study how multiple alleles, codominance, and incomplete dominance affect traits.

Learn to visualize genetic crosses using Punnett squares to predict offspring ratios.

Discover how traits linked to sex chromosomes are passed down differently in males and females.

Inheritance patterns of genes located on non-sex chromosomes, including dominant and recessive traits.

Learn to analyze family trees to track genetic traits across generations.

Explore examples of inherited disorders caused by gene mutations or chromosomal abnormalities.

Study how allele frequencies change in populations due to mutation, selection, drift, and migration.

Understand how humans influence heredity through artificial selection and explore the importance of genetic diversity.
