Description
Dive into the foundations of Mendelian genetics with this lecture covering diploid inheritance, dominant vs. recessive alleles, true-breeding crosses, and complementation in flies. Learn how probability explains F2 phenotypic ratios and see how genetic differences between maize and teosinte shaped crop evolution. Ideal for biology and genetics students exploring heredity and gene mapping.
