About

Welcome! In this series we will be going over the different sections of genetics and heredity: 1. Meiosis & Life Cycles 2. Mendelian Genetics 3. Chromosomal and Molecular Inheritance 4. Gene Expression and Regulation 5. DNA tools and Biotechnology Each session will be interactive, and we will be practicing solving genetics problems (Pedigree, Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, etc). Feel free to ask questions at any time! We will be covering a lot of information in each session, so prior knowledge of genetics and heredity is helpful but not required. Please bring a pencil and paper, as we will be solving problems on genetics and heredity during our sessions.

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others." - Philippians 2:3-4 Hi! My name is Sara and I am a math and biology tutor in the US. I love learning more about God's creation by studying biology, and I aspire to work as a veterinarian in the future. pfp credit: Joseph Z
