Abstract
School genetics is changing. Nowadays, students are more likely to be introduced to the idea that many characteristics of organisms, including those of humans, are not determined by the actions of just one or two genes but result from interactions between the products of many genes and the environments of each organism. This article asks whether there is a place in school science for teaching about the genetics of inheritance. There are arguments in favour of such teaching but also risks.
