Genetics; Part 1-Classical Genetics to Monohybrid Crosses

Author: Nate Holz

Our First Lesson

Our first lesson is a powerpoint on fundamental genetics. It looks at the meaning of words like traits, and heredity.

We start with the work of Gregor Mendel that lead us to today's understanding of genetics. A lot of important terms are discussed in this lesson and you need to know them:

  • traits
  • heredity
  • genetics
  • self-pollinate
  • cross-pollinate
  • cross
  • true breeding
  • hybrids
  • dominant
  • recessive
  • genes
  • alleles
  • P generation
  • F1 generation
  • F2 generation
  • gamete
  • Principle of Segregation
  • genotype
  • phenotype
  • punnett square
  • homozygous
  • heterozygous

PowerPoint #1: Classical Genetics to Monohybrid Crosses

The work of Gregor Mendel through monohybrid crosses to punnett squares

Gregor Mendel's Punnett Squares

A 5 minute video clip that discusses traits and the work of Gregor Mendel. Dominance and Recessive are also discussed, as well as punnett squares.
