Elements of Biology: Genetics

Human biology or genetics learners apply their knowledge to a unique situation: two newborn baby girls being possibly switched in the hospital. The engaging activity ends with a Punnett squares assignment in which pupils evaluate whether...

Epistasis originated from genetics but now applies to biochemistry, computational biology, and evolutionary biology. The video introduces epistasis as it relates to genetics. It also discusses dihybrid crosses, test crosses, polygenic...

Pupils learn how to use the rule of multiplication in genetics. The instructor shares some sample problems and shows viewers how to arrive at the correct answer. They then learn how to apply the rule of addition to genetics as well,...

Students have the opportunity to work through a problem set over Eukaryotic genes. Correct answers are reinforced with a brief explanation. Incorrect answers are linked to tutorials to help solve the problem.

Discuss an article about families affected by genetic disorders and their decisions about whether or not to evaluate their own genetic information. Investigate four different inherited disorders. Participate in a probability exercise....

Young scientists explore Gregor Mendel's work on pea plants, his laws of segregation and independent assortment. They work through genetic problems and then finish by looking at Huntington's disease and genetic testing. 

A set of sixteen multiple-choice questions. Once solved, incorrect answers are linked to tutorials to help solve the problem.

Interactive resource provides a problem set in which you will work with the types of genetic and biochemical information used to unravel the inner workings of the lac operator-repressor regulation system. Correct answers are reinforced...

Interactive resource provides students with an opportunity to work through a problem set over nucleic acids. Correct answers are reinforced with a brief explanation. Incorrect answers are linked to tutorials to help solve the problem.

A class of older and academically mature students are divided into pairs, usually one male and one female and are told that they are expecting a child. Unfortunately, their child may or may not have inherited some form of genetic...
