This two part self-paced video is just under 15 minutes and covers Mendelian inheritance patterns as well as how to use a Punnett square to make predictions on heredity. Non-Mendelian inheritance will also be introduced and discussed. This class is following the College Board AP Biology standards and is a lecture style self-paced video with notes that help students learn about basic concepts of high school biology. Learners are encouraged to reach out if they have any additional questions on this platform at any time.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to describe how Mendelian inheritance patterns work using Punnett squares.Students will be able to identify several forms of non-Mendelian inheritance patterns such as codominance and incomplete dominance.
