How a study of pea plants decoded the mechanics of inheritance
In short: Discover how observing the traits of pea plants provided the foundation for our modern understanding of genetics and the way alleles are passed from parents to offspring.
Hortensia Jiménez Díaz explores the fundamental principles of heredity, explaining how children inherit specific combinations of dominant and recessive alleles from their parents. The video uses the study of pea plants to illustrate the biological processes that determine physical characteristics, such as eye colour.
