Heredity

Ever hear the phrase ‘Like father like son?’ In this BrainPOP UK movie on heredity, Tim and Moby will teach you all about how you inherit your looks, height, size and chemical make-up from your parents! Discover dominant and recessive genes, what an allele is and why kind of traits are inherited. In this educational, animated movie you’ll also meet 19th century scientist Gregor Mendel, who experimented with pea plants to study heredity, and British mathematician Reginald Punnett, whose Punnett Square lets you predict the results of cross-breeding. If you’ve always wanted to know why you’re taller than your parents, or why you have blue eyes when your parents’ eyes are brown, then this is the movie for you!
