Explore the science of hereditary traits and learn how viruses can affect our DNA with this free online biology course. This course teaches you about hereditary traits and lays out the biological processes that transmit particular qualities from parents to children. Isn't it amazing that children can look like their parents but different from each other? We explain how that happens as we study hereditary science in animals, plants, bacteria and viruses. We also examine the theory behind the Hardy-Weinberg Principle to help you understand this fascinating topic.
