This episode is an introductory guide to the basic principles of genetics, specifically focusing on Mendelian inheritance. It defines key terms such as allele, gene, and genotype, and introduces Mendel's First Law (the Law of Segregation) and Mendel's Second Law (the Law of Independent Assortment), using the inheritance of pea plant traits as examples. The text then applies these concepts to human traits like eye colour and tongue rolling, and provides practice questions to reinforce understanding. The resource also explores the concept of homozygous and heterozygous genotypes and their corresponding phenotypes.
