Abstract:
"Animal Genetics Principles and Breeding Methods" is a main course for Master students majoring in Agriculture (Livestock) and involves a combination of theory and practice. The traditional teaching method is difficult not only to meet the requirements of modern professional degree teaching, but also for the students to master the theory and practice of genetic breeding. We have employed the case study methodology during the entire course. This paper analyzes the connotation and characteristics of the method and expounds the design and discussion of the cases. Besides, the teaching evaluation is also included. It provides a reference for the application and promotion of the case teaching method in training graduate students majoring in agriculture.

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...
