Learning Objective
I can define genetics and heredity and explain how they are related by using the video to answer questions with at least 80% accuracy.
- 1
Genes are individualized sections of DNA on the chromosomes of cells and carry instructions for making molecules called proteins.
- 2
An organism’s genotype is their complete collection of alleles, while the phenotype describes the traits that we can observe.
- 3
A Punnett square can be used to map out the odds of allele combinations that offspring may inherit from their parents.
