Introduction
This page serves as a resource for information about genetics, or the study of heredity. On thi page, we will discuss the processes that allow traits to be passed down through generations and how to study these processes. The mendelian genetics tab will help give you historical background on heredity. The DNA, Transcription and translation, and chromosomes tabs discuss heredity on a cellular level to help students learn about the molecules that allow traits to be passed to offspring. The Codon chart, genotype and phenotype, dominant or recessive, punnett square, sex linked traits, and pedigree chart tabs are used to help us study how and what genes are passed down from parent to offspring.
