Relative Risks of Acetaminophen, ADHD, and Autism
You’ve probably heard before that acetaminophen during pregnancy is associated with symptoms of ADHD and Autism in offspring. Well, we’ve got another study on that association. In today’s episode, we examine that study and revisit why we...

Introduction to Punnett Squares and Genetic Inheritance Analysis
This is a tutorial video that explains what a Punnett square is and how it can be used to analyze and predict genetic inheritance. The video defines important terms such as genotype and phenotype and explains how alleles operate on a...

What is a Species?
The question âwhat is a species?â might sound like a simple one. We have evolved to categorise plants and animals into types, some safe like field mushrooms and other less safe like fly agaric toadstools. We have developed this idea into...

Fundamentals of Genetics: Dominant and Recessive Traits
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...

DNA and the Genome
This video discusses the structure and function of DNA. The video also talks about the sequencing of the human genome and its potential applications, such as linking genes to diseases and tracing migration patterns. It provides a basic...

The Importance of Gregor Mendel's Work in Genetics
This video discusses the scientific work of Gregor Mendel. Through his experimentation, Mendel observed clear and predictable patterns of inheritance in the plant's characteristics, which he suggested were controlled by separate units...

Fragmentation: Asexual Reproduction in Plants
In this live-action program viewers will learn that a common form of asexual reproduction, without requiring gametes, flowers, seeds or fruits, is fragmentation. As the word implies, fragments of the parent organism split or break off....

Gene Linkage and Genetic Maps
We just learned about X-linked genes, but what about gene linkage in general? If two genes are on the same chromosome, we can say that they are linked. Are they always inherited together? Can the alleles rearrange in some way? Well don't...
