For an organism to develop, repair tissues and stay healthy, its cells must reproduce. You need a good understanding of cell reproduction in medicine for studying cancer and developing treatments, and in agriculture for improving crops. Use this resource to explore the replication of DNA and the process of meiosis....

Genes and genomes are the blueprints of life. Understanding how genes function and how the entire genome is organised helps us learn how traits are inherited and how organisms develop. This knowledge is essential for advancements in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. Use this resource to explore the roles genes and...

Mendelian genetics help to explain how traits are inherited. This knowledge is vital in fields like medicine, where it helps identify patterns of genetic disorders, and in agriculture, where it guides the breeding of plants and animals. Use this resource to learn about the foundational concepts that explain genetic inheritance....
-
Patterns of inheritance describe how genetic traits are passed from one generation to the next. Understanding these patterns is crucial for predicting how traits will appear in offspring and for studying genetic disorders. Use this resource to explore how genes combine and interact to create the diversity of life. Before...

Punnett squares are vital tools for understanding how genetic traits are inherited. They provide a simple way to predict the probabilities of offspring inheriting certain traits based on the genetic makeup of the parents. This knowledge is crucial in fields like medicine, where it helps assess the risk of genetic...
