Inherited Genetic Disorders

The video tutorial explains genetic disorders, focusing on polydactyly and cystic fibrosis. Polydactyly is caused by a dominant allele, requiring only one parent to pass it on, while cystic fibrosis requires two recessive alleles, one from each parent. The video also covers embryo screening, a method to prevent genetic disorders in offspring, and discusses the ethical, social, and economic issues surrounding this process. Key concepts include genetic inheritance, alleles, and the differences between dominant and recessive genetic disorders.
