Why Do Some People Look More Like Their Grandparents Than Their Parents?
Our physical appearance is significantly influenced by our genes, which are inherited from our parents, who in turn receive their genetic material from their own parents. When your genetic makeup closely mirrors that of your...

Sizes of Stars and Sub-Stellar Objects From Brown Dwarf to Red Hypergiant
We've learned about the stellar life cycle, so we know what happens to smaller stars like ours, and we know what happens to larger stars that become neutron stars and black holes. But what are the limits on either side? How small can a...

Understanding Genetic Inheritance: How Genes Control Physical Characteristics
This video explains how physical characteristics in offspring are controlled by the interaction of genes inherited from each parent. It discusses the role of alleles, which are different forms of the same gene, and how multiple genes can...
