Videos





Before we get started on all the Genetic modules, this video will remind you of the basics of DNA












This video gives an excellent summary of all the different types of mutations



​





This video (done in the style of 'Ren & Stimpy' shows you the huge knock on effect, a mutation in your DNA affects the biochemistry and phenotype of an individual suffering from sickle cell anemia.



​






The Lac Operon discussed clearly in this animation







A lovely animation explaining the different types of mutations




A good animation showing protein synthesis but more importantly how chemicals outside the cell can influence what happens in the cell





Another crash course - this time looking at how organism development is controlled by the genes
