Mendelian Genetics

Mr. Andersen introduces Mendelian genetics, focusing on Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plants. He explains Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment, using Punnett squares to solve genetic problems. The video also covers genetic disorders, specifically Huntington's disease, and discusses the ethical implications of genetic testing.

What was the common belief about inheritance before Mendel's work?

How does a Punnett square help in predicting genetic outcomes?

What is Huntington's disease and how is it inherited?

Discuss the ethical implications of genetic testing for diseases like Huntington's.
