In this title, you will learn about how we inherit our looks and gender from our parents, and how to show the outcomes of a simple genetic cross. We will explain why some people suffer from inherited genetic disorders, even when their parents do not appear to have the disease, and how to work out the chances of passing on such problems. This title covers how and why people may selectively breed animals or plants, and what the advantages and disadvantages of this are. It discusses cloning and the different methods by which it is performed, as well as the human genome project, where scientists have been able to map out our DNA to find the locations of different genes. Finally, you will listen to examples of genetic modification and how it is used today to produce insulin.
