Transmission of Heritable Information from Generation to Generation

Transmission of Heritable Information from Generation to Generation

by Georgina Cornwall, PhD

This course covers the material of content category 1C of the official MCAT exam content outline.

Individual units of inheritance, or genes, are inherited in different ways. In other words, genes are subject to different patterns of inheritance, seen as the different phenotypic expressions of traits. This feature of inheritance produces genetic diversity and increases the likelihood of survival for a particular generation and the species at large.

In this course, the student will be introduced to the mechanisms and patterns of inheritance observed in the passing down of genetic information from one generation to the next. For optimal comprehension, the student will be required to be familiar with the basic concepts of college-grade biology and chemistry.

Well structured and comprehensible. Ms Georgina Cornwall makes pleasant pauses between sentences, speaks clearly and explains so that it is easy to follow. The questions afterwards are also very helpful.

 
Good, but it could improve.

I liked this lecture and I also like this teacher. I just sometimes find the explanations a little be confusing.
