  The power of
multimedia as a teaching tool becomes apparent in Investigating
Heredity as this program studies heredity, the passing of traits
from parents to offspring. An overview of Mendel's famous pea plant
experiments are graphically displayed, and fundamental heredity concepts
are introduced. Special effects and animations are used to show the
experiments performed by Thomas Hunt Morgan on Drosophila melanogaster
(fruit flies). Finally, the program provides a thorough examination of
various human genetic disorders. This program captures the excitement of
studying heredity while providing a comprehensive review.
