In “What We Inherit,” Sam Trejo and Daphne O. Martschenko examine the link between genetic myths and social genomics.

An emerging idea in evolutionary biology is that inheritance implies more than the sole transmission of the DNA sequence across generations. Non-genetic inheritance of information across generations ...

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

Genes are located on chromosomes. Chromosomes are in pairs and genes, or their alleles, are located on each of these pairs. When the cell divides in half, each chromosome ends up in a different cell.

Our genes are inherited from our parents, and the different combinations of these genes make us unique. Genetic inheritance controls the characteristics of all living things. This short video explains ...

*Laws of Heredity* is an educational film that demonstrates how inheritance operates in statistically predictable ways, presenting the foundational insights first achieved by Gregor Mendel. Through ...

BSc Genetics syllabus: The B.Sc. Genetics syllabus is carefully crafted to give students a fundamental and thorough grasp of the fundamental ideas guiding life's instruction set: DNA, inheritance, and ...
