Planting Cells with DNA

Dr. Forrester introduces the concept of diversity in humans and plants, emphasizing the uniqueness of individuals due to inherited traits. The video explores Gregor Mendel's pioneering work on genetics, detailing his experiments with Peapod plants that laid the foundation for modern genetics. It explains plant cell structures, including organelles like chloroplasts and the role of DNA in determining traits. The video also covers how dominant and recessive traits affect inheritance, using family examples to illustrate genetic variation.
