Heredity
Program
Objectives
Topics
Covered
Pricing
Investigate heredity and learn how parents pass traits
from parents to offspring. An overview of Mendel's famous
pea plant experiments introduces fundamental heredity
concepts.
Special effects and animations show experiments performed
by Thomas Hunt Morgan on fruit flies (Drosophila
melanogaster ). Also included is a thorough examination of
various human genetic disorders. Investigating
Heredity captures the fascinating aspects of
studying genetics while providing a comprehensive review.
Topics covered in this program include:
Gregor Mendel/Principles of Heredity; Chromosomal
Inheritance including studies by Walter Sutton and Thomas
Morgan; Patterns of Heredity; Human Heredity and Genetic
Disorders; and Gene Therapy.
Presentation
The Presentation portion of this program includes
audio-narrated scenes featuring the content from the
objectives.
Interactive Lessons
Students can work through different activities that
directly reinforce the information learned in the
Presentation.
