• Teacher needs a computer, access to the Internet, and a way to project the videos
• Video 24 in a series of 31

Pros

• Video contains sample problems, where teachers can pause and allow scholars to work their answers
• Simple and easy explanation of applying probability to genetics

Cons

• None
