Introduction to Genes and Chromosomes

The video tutorial explains heredity, the transmission of traits from parents to children, through genes. It delves into the structure and function of genes and DNA, highlighting their role in determining traits. The tutorial explores cell structure, focusing on chromosomes and their organization. It discusses the characteristic number of chromosomes in different species and introduces the concept of karyotypes. The video also covers cell types, such as haploid and diploid cells, and explains the process of sexual reproduction, emphasizing the role of gametes and homologous chromosomes.
