Mendelian Genetics and Punnett Squares

For all of human history, we've been aware of heredity. Children look like their parents. But why? When Gregor Mendel pioneered the field of genetics, he began to try to answer that question, and now that we know about chromosomes, all of his work will make a lot of sense. Let's take a look at Mendel's work, his laws of segregation and independent assortment, and try to understand what these mean for genetics and inheritance.

Gregor Mendel was invaluable in our understanding of genetics. Thank you for making this so easy and accessible.

The intro, was the best thing ive ever seen

I shed a tear at how easy you explained this concept. Thank you🥺

[badtaste]

I SLEPT THROUGH CLASS THIS WEEK SO THANK YOU FOR THIS

[qaisarsbiology]

Absolutely crystal clear concept while clearing every aspect

Thank you 🙏🏽 I dropped out of high school when I was 16… started a family. Got into the trades. I make a decent living for myself and my family. But your videos and videos like it. Allow a high school dropout like myself. To continue learning about subjects I’m interested in. Thank you my friend

I don't know why can't school explain like this with every subjects

[masalagravy]

bro thank you so much I learned more from you than I did from my actual biology teacher. Ur a legend

[grumpledum]

one of the most coherent and clear teachers of youtube thank you so much!!

Man, I studied this 10+ years ago in high school, I'm not sure what I'm doing here, but I'm somewhat glad I found this video for some reason. Great lesson, crystal clear and got me interested in learning more!

[mnkjohns]

You explained this so much better than my science teacher, thank you, Professor Dave

[WOG]

You hit every point pertaining to Mendel's Model. Thank you!

[binibiningmakata]

I really like you're way of explanation. It's smooth and clear and also the introduction is the best to catch the attention of the learners 😍

[nadaesawy]

you know what prof Dave I used to watch your videos back in high school and even I am in med school now I am still watching you ...

[RODRIGOALONSOGAETEGEISSBUHLER]

You explained it so well, something so important for the study of genetics. Thank you for this

[leoz]

I absolutely love the way you teach! Can you please discuss in depth regarding pedigree analysis. I am confused in terms of the types of pedigrees and how to identify the genotypes

[cristianmarinescu]

I've never understood this stuff in my high school years, so thank you for explaining it so clearly!

Hello Professor Dave, thanks so much for all those videos. It made all my students understand many topics in my Science classes, I sent them the link of your videos so they can watch your videos at home.
