What is Genetic Diversity?






Diversity in color, shape, and size of corn seeds is used as an example of genetic diversity and why it is the basis for plant breeding. Video intended as a lead in to other hands on activities and discussion about the topic for all but the youngest. Created on June 6, 2011 for the NPSAS Farm Breeding Club using FlipShare.








Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey (Part 13 of 13)
The Journey of Man is a documentary that talks about our evolution, our recent history, and how we came to be to the way we are today. It looks at the Y chromosome, that's passed down from male to male, and tracks the marker mutations to map our ancestors' journey. It's how we conquered the Earth in just the last 59000 years.
