An Introduction to Genetics and Heredity - Gregor Mendel and DNA

Join us on an exciting journey into the fascinating world of genetics! In this video, we'll explore what DNA is, its role in life as we know it, and how it shapes every organism on our planet. From the eye color you inherited to the stripes on a tiger, learn how the 'blueprint of life' guides the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all living organisms. We'll also dive into the story of Gregor Mendel, the 'Father of Genetics', and how his groundbreaking work with pea plants laid the foundation for our understanding of heredity. This is the first video in our 'Genetics Explained' series, where we'll be unraveling the secrets of DNA, genes, chromosomes, and more.
