Information Transfer and Heredity · Genetics & Heredity
Patterns of Inheritance
An exploration of Mendelian and non-Mendelian genetics to predict how traits are passed from parents to offspring.
Key Questions
- 1Why do siblings look different from one another despite having the same parents?
- 2How can we use probability to predict the occurrence of genetic disorders?
- 3To what extent do environment and genetics interact to determine an organism's phenotype?
