Scientists at Oregon Health and Science University have grown human embryos mixing genetic material from three parents. Humans possess two types of DNAs - nDNA in the cell nucleus, and mDNA in the cell mitochondria. While a baby receives...

This exciting program takes a glimpse at some of the amazing advances in modern genetics. Starting with the discovery of DNA, students will be exposed to advances such as the creation of recombinant DNA, vaccines, the human genome...

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...

Has science gone too far? Well, it has created these bizarre creatures. From super buff cows to featherless chickens, these are the creepiest, freakiest animals to ever come out of labs.

Lesson on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), what it is, symptoms of PCOS, causes of PCOS, associated diseases and treatments for PCOS.

TIME IS SPEEDING UP - Terence McKenna

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...

A new study on endocrine disruptors, pregnancy, and heritable ADHD and other neurodevelopmental issues. Women exposed to endocrine disruptors seem to be able to pass ADHD and other disorders onto their grandchildren! That is unusual.

The human genome project was an enormous project that saw scientists around the world collaborate to work out the sequence of bases in the human genome. The project started in 1990 and was completed in 2003, 2 years ahead of schedule....

This live-action video program is about the word adaptation. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word adaptation through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and...

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...

Here's an exciting way to learn important facts and get ready for a life science test! In this episode we'll be looking at genetic adaptation.

The video is a lecture presentation on genetic modification or genetic engineering, explaining the process of modifying an organism's genome to introduce desirable characteristics. The presenter describes the use of plasmids and viruses...

Twins, especially identical ones, are crucial for all kinds of scientific research. Two twin reporters find out why that is at the biggest gathering of multiples in the world. [read
