About this unit
Let's dive into the complex world of genetics! In this unit, you'll explore the intricacies of meiosis, learn the basics of Mendelian and non-Mendelian genetics, and discover how genes and the environment can interact to shape the traits we see.Meiosis: the square dance of gamete production! Grab a partner; cross on over, split in half, and split again!
