Description: Illustrates how the laws of heredity apply to man by tracing both dominant and recessive human traits as they have occurred in past generations. Uses as examples of dominant traits: the Hapsburg lip, polydactyly, sickle-cell anemia, and night-blindness. Explores in detail recessive albinism and antibody-antigen functions in polio vaccination and Rh blood groups. Demonstrates the PTC "tasters" and concludes with an explanation of the complex inheritance of eye color.
