Short, detailed, straight to the point. Great resource for a quick review before class. Thank you! :)

allele - small section of gene that codes for a trait
homozygous - same allele for both parent, mixture
heterozygous
dominant - wins
recessive - nope
genotype - individual alleles

Thank you for providing such a remarkably condensed version of what Mendelian genetics is all about, and without a ton of talking. Well done!

I did a degree in biomedical sciences and really enjoyed it, but now I'm a software developer. A completely different field of work, but I still come back to learn more about biosciny because I really enjoy it

Honestly learnt better from this video then my actual class...

[yinoxie]

Short, punchy and very clear..great thanks Khan Academy.

[reginaarcipe]

Thank you. I learned a lot. Keep posting. Watching from philippines.

[ericmacharia]

Not 75% or 25% of the children but 75% or 25% chance of each child expressing the the genes phenotypically

[mscpsychology]

This is extremely helpful. Thank you so much !

[alliageorge]

Khan Academy never disappoints. Straight to the point and easy to understand. Great video.

[Quettatay]

This was so helpful. I was reading and become totally overloaded with a lot of information. This was straight to the point.

[Natali]

A really great video! thank you so much!

[lynx]

believe it or not, its the stickman he draw that helped me out a lot. subscribed >:)

Please remember that when using the term homozygous that you have to put dominate or recessive after it. You have to be clear as to which set of alleles are present.
