Abstract:
More and more colleges have recognized the importance of bilingual teaching in improvement students' capability to integrate the specialized knowledge with the foreign language. Bilingual teaching courses have been designed to enhance the innovation of high education and improve the culture quality of students. Genetics is one of the most important courses for undergraduate students majored in the region of life sciences. However, in the case of genetics, the advisable model to carry out bilingual teaching and the matter of great concern are ambiguous and need evidence accumulated by more teaching experiments. The classic papers in genetics are valuable resources to the bilingual teaching of genetics. This paper analyzed the role of classic papers in the bilingual teaching of genetics and discussed the methods for improving the bilingual teaching of genetics.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
