If you didnt get bucked off in part 1, then enjoy part 2. We take you down the convoluted path of x linked (sex linked) modes of inheritance. Giddy up yall.
We did it! your doing so good. WE go over autosomal patterns of genetic inheritance here. Hopefully this isnt your first rodeo but if it is enjoy the ride. Stay tuned for part 2 where we talk about non autosomal methods of inheritance.
Woah there cow boy, welcome to the wild west of genetics. were gonna introduce general concepts without getting into the thick of it. HOpefully you take this one slow and the hat fits cause youre brain is about to grow.

I talk a bit about some pathologies that arise when synthesis goes askew but I really only included them cause I hope theyre interesting. In this episode I want you to focus on just collagen synthesis and elastin properties. Good luck.
Bi-Layered Biological Membranes - maybe you know it maybe you dont - we give it a shot in this short episode.
Speed run no cheat codes for DNA mutation and repair. Highly recommend watching a youtube video of these repair mechanisms in addition to listening.
Step 1 Foundational concepts to supplement your learning. Helping you consolidate information into high yield tid bits.
