Mendelian Genetics and Extensions — Laws of Inheritance, Probability, and Genetic Disorders Explained | Chapter 14 of Campbell Biology
Mendelian Genetics and Extensions — Laws of Inheritance, Probability, and Genetic Disorders Explained | Chapter 14 of Campbell Biology Welcome to Last Minute Lecture! This post explores Mendelian genetics and its modern extensions, as presented in Chapter 14 of Campbell Biology . Discover how Gregor Mendel’s experiments laid the foundation for understanding how genes are inherited, how probability laws predict genetic outcomes, and how more complex inheritance patterns go beyond simple dominance and recessiveness.

Introduction: Mendel’s Legacy in Genetics Gregor Mendel’s work with pea plants established the laws of segregation and independent assortment—principles that remain at the core of modern genetics. This chapter shows how Mendel’s discoveries explain both simple and complex inheritance in all living things, including humans. Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance Law of Segr...
