Mendel - genetics and heredity Gameplay, Trailers and Related Videos

About the application:

Since Richard Dawkin's ebook 'The Selfish Gene', the mechanisms behind our genes have come more and more to the fore in the natural sciences and also in philosophy. Gregor Johann Mendel created a significant contribution to this around 150 years ago, even if it received no attention during his lifetime. Mendel's guidelines are an elementary part of science teaching at secondary schools. This apk gives you the occasion to play these guidelines clearly, transparently and comprehensibly. You have the option of combining a few characteristics and varying the kind of inheritance. Everything costs you just a few clicks; using the genetics calculator also requires a minimum of clicks and calculates everything automatically in true time, even with complex constellations. This promotes understanding and gives you an insight into the mathematical and combinatorial connections of what makes us external and internal. This apk also presents a unique form of a 3D diagram that is very suitable for understanding the combinatorial relationships of the three possible types of inheritance. Richard Dawkins introduced the term 'meme' into our cultural existence, alluding to the 'gene' in our natural existence. The similarities? Memes and genes potentially outlive us. We pass everything on to future generations like relay runners. Memes are also topic to mutations. But that would be more of an aspect of a 'Darwin' app. The 3D diagram should be such a meme, perhaps comparable to the Punnett square. It makes sense to represent the three types of possible inheritance in their interaction in three dimensions. Every kind of inheritance in one dimension. How come? Because inheritance processes take put in parallel and therefore combined. Each trait is inherited in one of three types of inheritance. Hopefully this apk illustrates that in the best method possible.
