Mega Genetics Review: Mendelian and non-Mendelian Genetics

Ready to review how to do different types of Mendelian and Non-Mendelian Punnett square problems with The Amoeba Sisters? This video reviews one-trait / monohybrid crosses, two-trait / dihybrid crosses, incomplete dominance, codominance, blood type (multiple alleles), and sex-linked / X-linked Punnett square problems and then reviews pedigrees! You can purchase our optional video companion handout here (listed in below description) and expand this video description for more!

**We mention to check out the video description regarding the section about sex-linked traits, as while this portion focuses on sex-linked traits in Punnett squares, there is more complexity to sex determination than sex chromosomes alone. These are some readings we recommended in our sex-linked traits video about this:
*What about cases where individuals have different combinations of sex chromosomes, as mentioned in the video? Two examples include Klinefelter Syndrome and Turner Syndrome. More about this from NIH:

Why learn genetics? Learning about genetics helps us understand inherited traits in all kinds of organisms including plants (such as crops) and animals (such as humans).

THE TIMING COULD NOT BE MORE PERFECT. I HAVE A TEST TOMORROW

[masonmolinari]

I am in AP Biology and I used these videos to study, along with reading my book. I got a 95. These videos work! They explain the biological concepts in simple details, making them so much easier to understand.

[Danielacacy]

Amoeba sisters really out here helping us get a degree. I would die for these women

[charmy]

I've been watching your videos for 5 years now! Thank you for creating great videos and for helping me pass my biology class with an A+ grade! I love you guys!

[iiev]

this is actually perfect timing: a week before my exam

[EpikBean]

I am just so thankful that this YouTube Channel exist! It makes learning about human science very fun and very educational! Keep up your good work Amoeba Sisters 👏💖

[snowlilly]

To be honest, this is my favourite channel.. Amoeba sisters are helping me so much with my studies... Thanks alotttt❤️❤️❤️

[danielleb]

I could not be more grateful for this video!! I'm teaching an intro to genetics class in the winter and being able to refresh all my old genetics knowledge through your videos is amazingly helpful ❤️

[chockitkat]

You went through everything my teacher went through in about an hour to 15 mins and I could understand so much better! Thank you so much for these, your practices are so similar to the way my teacher taught me, it helped me so much!

[paige]

you have no idea how thankful i am that i found your channel. i'm a little behind after changing my major to molecular biology, so i decided to take general biology 1 this summer. this week is finals week, and i am binge watching your videos on topics i wasn't comfortable with at first and feel much better about them already. also, as a visual learner, the cartoons and colors make it SO much easier for me to understand.
thank you!!! <3

[AnonymousC-lmtc]

I just wanted to let the two know that you helped me pass 10th grade Biology! I am now a junior in College majoring in Biomedical Engineering.

Thank you!

[oxygenmid]

Hi brother Amoebo, my 11th grade biology exam, I actually spent the whole weekend going through your basic concepts that we covered in class. Thanks for understanding and explaining the gene clearly. I don't know who you voted for, but I can say that all credit goes to you! I can't wait to test it! Easy, thank you!

[DEERYXD]

Hey Amoeba Sisters, just had a Biology test for grade 11 bio. Honestly for the whole weekend, I have been reviewing your videos on the basic concepts that I have covered in class. Thank you for the very clear understanding and explanation of everything in genetics. I don't know what my mark is, but all I can say that the credit goes to you! Hopefully I do good on the test! It was actually pretty easy, thanks to you!

14:46 That cartoon at the end reminds me of how I had a test on Punnett squares and pedigrees yesterday, and I had multiple dreams that I was trying to solve them that night

[MarvelousSpyro]

Holy moly last time I seen this channel I was in the 10th grade and it was in the 100ks . I'm now 19 and a junior in college and this channel has amassed amazingly.

[valentinasimaityte]

Omg such a relief. Tomorrow I have a test about genetics, what a coincidence 😀. Thank you, will be much easier 💜

[Swodrian]

I opened this on my personal account so I would be able to actually comment on the video. This was assigned to me for my bio class and it made me think about how much I love these videos. I love science as a whole, and these videos make me extremely happy because of that. I've always loved seeing them in class, but now I actually get to say something about them. Keep up the great work, I love your content! :D

[juliej]

Omg no way! I was literally looking for this exact topic to study for my exam and you just put this out?! Perfect timing! Thanks so much 😍

[LisiaGiannecchini]

Hi! I want to say thank you so much for all your videos. I do study Bachelor of Science major Wildlife Biology and I am going through Genetics and Evolutionary Biology. I don't understand my teacher, but you made my life absolutely more enjoyable to learn and easy to understand. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
