Comparing and contrasting Capitalism and Socialism, this lecture outlines many nuances between the two economic systems, including the ideas of meritocracy and "fairness." A discussion about the effects of either system gone "unchecked"...

Do our experiences in childhood become part of our genetic makeup? The third of a four-part video series focusing on reproduction examines trending research in epigenetics. The narrator explains the experiment, data, and analysis of the...

Why do siblings often look so different from one another? Discover the process of making gametes using a short video from a large biology playlist. The narrator explains each step while animated chromatids play out the scenario that...

Can learned traits be passed down to future generations? The video explains epigenetics, which is the change in organisms caused by a modification of genes and not the genetic code. Using the example of lab rats passing on a sensitivity...

Epigenetics shows that basically you are what your parents eat. This video explores epigenetics or the factors that determine which genes are expressed in your body. From behavior to environments to dietary choices, some genes change in...

Introduce young scholars to epigenetics, the study of the changes in organisms. Viewers learn about investigators at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada who have shown that a father's diet can influence the health and...

Young scientists explore genetic recombination and gene mapping through analyzing the works of Thomas Hunt Morgan and Alfred Sturtevant. Individuals see how some genes, via fruit flies, can cross over creating greater variation, which...

Scholars see, through a monohybrid cross, how alleles are distributed during meiosis. The video instructor then explores Thomas Hunt Morgan's research on fruit flies, determining that genes are located on chromosomes and showing that...

The strengths and problems associated with Mendelian genetics are explored in a video that first reviews Mendelian genetics and independent assortment. Viewers then explore problems with Mendelian genetics such as linked genes,...

The topic of this video module is genetic basis for variation among humans. The main learning objective is that students will learn the genetic mechanisms that cause variation among humans (parents and children, brothers and sisters) and...

Thomas Hunt Morgan's pioneering fruit fly work that helped validate the chromosomal theory of inheritance. [10:40]

This Dinosaur Train video will help children foster the understanding of heredity: inheritance and variation of traits. Buddy and Daphne compare how they are similar and different. Included are printable dinosaur fact cards. [0:54]
