Genetics is important to our understanding of selection for at least three reasons: first, although the concept of selection seems obvious, it was not until selection was linked to Mendelian genetics ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

Our genes are inherited from our parents, and the different combinations of these genes make us unique. Genetic inheritance controls the characteristics of all living things. This short video explains ...

Genes are located on chromosomes. Chromosomes are in pairs and genes, or their alleles, are located on each of these pairs. When the cell divides in half, each chromosome ends up in a different cell.

From the blueprint of life encoded in our DNA to the awe-inspiring complexity of our genetic inheritance, we will embark on a journey through the microscopic world within us and witness the remarkable ...
