Genetics isn’t just Punnett squares anymore. This unit explores how traits are inherited through meiosis, Mendelian and non-Mendelian patterns, and chromosomal behavior. Students will practice analyzing pedigrees, applying probability, and using chi-square to determine how well data fit expected ratios. This unit blends math, models, and molecular insight. Spoiler: not everything follows Mendel’s rules.
