The power of multimedia as a teaching tool becomes apparent as this program studies heredity - the passing of traits
from parents to offspring. Mendel's Principles of Heredity includes an overview of Mendel's famous pea plant experiments are graphically displayed, and fundamental heredity concepts
are introduced. Special effects and animations are used to show the experiments performed by Thomas Hunt Morgan on Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). Finally, the program
provides a thorough examination of various human genetic disorders. This program captures the excitement of studying heredity while providing a comprehensive review.
Topics include:
Gregor Mendel/Principles of Heredity, Chromosomal Inheritance including studies by Walter Sutton and Thomas Morgan, Patterns of Heredity, Human Heredity and Genetic Disorders, and Gene Therapy.
