Genetics Using Punnett Squares
Gregor Mendel was a monk who failed his teaching certification exam. He then dedicated his life to science and ended up creating the field of genetics. This presentation introduces the concepts of genetics and Punnett squares.

Beyond Mendel's Laws of Inheritance
Mendels laws of Genetics are extended here with examples of traits that are completely controlled by just one gene. Malfunctions such as albinism and baldness can therefore be tracked and will demonstrate inheritance patterns to your...
