This episode journeys through genetics, starting with Gregor Mendel's pea plant experiments and his laws of inheritance. Dr. Rosario explains chromosomal interactions, gene mapping, and X-linked traits, while Rosalind Franklin's contributions to DNA structure are highlighted. We also examine genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia, illustrating their biological mechanisms and evolutionary significance.
