Today, we are looking at the application of genetic testing to predict and treat disease. Watch the video and decide whether or not you would want to know of a genetic condition or not.
Today we are looking at non-mendellian genetics when the dominant allele doesn't necessarily dominate the recessive. For the video, take notes on the 4 other types of allele relationships. Also attached is the activity we did in class. Imagine blue, yellow and green eggs. ![]()
