Genetic Inheritance: Albinism and Mutations

This lecture covers the independent assortment of genes, linkage studies for genetic diseases, Mendelian laws, and the inheritance of albinism. It explores the concepts of complete dominance, complementation, loss-of-function mutations, and the molecular basis of alleles. The discussion extends to the effect of the environment on phenotypes, specificity of meiosis I, homologous recombination, and crossing-overs during meiotic division. Real-life examples and pedigree analysis are used to illustrate these genetic concepts.
