Genetics Research Project outlines basic genetic principles including dominant and recessive alleles and how traits are expressed in offspring from parental alleles. It also discusses stem cell research, noting that research began in the 1960s with hopes to use stem cells to create non-cancerous tissues, but applications took decades to develop due to ethical concerns. Stem cell research implications involve debates around using embryos. The project also compares single-gene, chromosomal, and multifactorial genetic disorders and how genetic counseling helps families understand risk of passing on disorders. Karyotypes are used to predict disorders by showing all cell chromosomes.
