Insect Herbivory: Evolution and Impact on Speciation and Diversity
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Discover the evolution of plant-eating habits in insects, the links between moths, butterflies, caddisflies, flies, and fleas. Explore the hypothesis of how herbivory could influence speciation and diversity within the insect kingdom.
Understanding Mouse Coat Colors Through Dihybrid Cross Predictions
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Learn about mouse genetics and the implications of dominant and recessive genes on coat color. We'll use a Punnett square to predict offspring coat patterns by crossing two heterozygous mice. Learn how phenotype ratios like 9 Agouti: 4 white: 3 black help us understand genetic outcomes.
Unveiling the Key Differences Between Muscle and Nerve Cells
