This is Part 3 of a 3-part series on genetics. In this episode we will dive into Advanced Genetics.Breeding and creating a strain is governed by 3 important laws of nature, such as the environment, nutrition, and the traits they inherit. In other words, genetics. However, just the idea of genetics can be intimidating for many new breeders, and some veteran as well.

Many even avoid genetics, mostly because it can seem confusing and difficult to understand and use. It is my hope that we can show you, not only why genetic is important, but also how to use it in the improvement and creation of your strains. Once you understand the basics, many other topics concerning breeding will become clearer.

In this episode we will discuss:

• Polygenic Inheritance
• Sex-linked Traits
• Gene Linkage and Correlation
• Atavisms and Throwbacks
• Genetic Triggers and Switches
• Mutations
• Lethal Genes
• Mitochondria DNA
• Maternal Antibodies
• Prepotency
• Epigenetics
• And much more!
