Lecture
Chapter 1 - A perspective in human genetics
Chapter 3 - Mendelian genetics

Today we finished chapter 1 with a discussion of the main ways in which genetics has impacted society in the past (mainly through eugenics) and in recent decades to the present (mainly through biotechnology).

We also started chapter 3, on Mendelian genetics, with a discussion of the steps that Mendel himself took to set up his, now considered classic, experiments.
