Explore the foundations of genetics established by Gregor Mendel, including the laws of inheritance, dominant and recessive alleles, and the use of Punnett squares for genetic predictions. Understand how these principles apply to human and animal health, with insights into sex-linked genetic disorders and the nuances of penetrance and expressivity in genetic expression.
