Do you sneeze when you go from dark to light areas? Twenty-five percent of the population does! It turns out that the characteristic is due to genetic code. Explore why this happens with a video from the Veritasium playlist that...
Crash Course
Heredity
Ear wax, either wet or dry, is inherited on chromosome 16. The narrator of a video about heredity uses ear wax to introduce the concepts of alleles, dominant and recessive traits, and heterozygous and homozygous genotypes.
