Genetic inheritance refers to the process by which genetic information is passed from parents to offsprings.
00:33
It involves the transmission of traits or characteristics such as eye color, blood type, height, etc.
00:52
Genetic traits are observable characters or features that are inherited from parents.
01:16
These traits are determined by genes.
01:26
These genes are segments of dna which contain the instructions for the development and function of the organisms.
01:36
The principle of inheritance was first described by gregor john mendel.
01:56
He observed that the traits are inherited in discrete units known as genes.
02:06
He said that traits are inherited in discrete units known as genes.
02:23
Now let us understand the chromosomal theory of inheritance.
02:31
This was proposed by thomas hunt morgan.
02:37
He expanded on the findings of mendel.
02:43
It states that the genes are located on specific chromosomes.
02:50
The behavior of the chromosomes during cell division is responsible for the transmission of genetic traits.
03:08
So, this theory links to the behavior of chromosomes...
