“Transferring Traits” introduces the concepts of heredity and genetic traits, with a focus on Gregor Mendel’s pioneering work in the field of genetics.

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...

A second example of a dihybrid cross in which the paternal AaBb gamete is crossed with the maternal AaBb gamete (both parents are doubly heterozygotes for genes A & B)

A brief discussion on Mendel's law of segregation followed by an in-depth Punnet square (monohybrid cross) example.<br/>
