Mutations
The majority of cancers, 90-95%, are caused by environmental factors; the remaining 5-10% are due to inherited genes. Scholars explore mutations and their outcomes and see how mutations can occur spontaneously or be induced. The video...

What Happens When Your DNA Is Damaged?
Did you know that your DNA can be damaged tens of thousands of times per day? Learn about the ways that damage to just one strand of your DNA can be fixed, or in extreme examples, result in genetic mutation such as cancer.

Population Genetics: When Darwin Met Mendel
Learners explore population genetics, or how populations of species change over time, leading to evolution with a video that brings together the principles of Mendel and Darwin and explains and models the Hardy-Weinberg equation.
Crash Course
Genetics and the Modern Synthesis: Crash Course History of Science #35
Can competing biological theories both be correct? Explore the two theories many scientists believed were opposing in a Crash Course History of Science video. The narrator covers both Darwin's and Mendel's genetics theories, the...

Disruption of Genetic Equilibrium
Could a population stay the exact same over time with no change in allele frequencies? The video explains the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium theorem and the assumptions it requires. It discusses mutation, migration, gene flow, genetic drift,...

Population Genetics
Population genetics deals with genetic differences within and between populations. The video explains why this is the lowest level of evolution. Then it discusses mutations, environmental factors, genetic recombination, and random gamete...

Tri Nucleotide Repeat
Mutations often lead to genetic disorders. The tri-nucleotide repeat leads to an expansion of DNA thanks to errors in the process of DNA replication. Using the informative video, scholars identify genetic disorders related to this error...
