lesson2: Chemical properties of genes
lesson3: Population genetics
lesson4: Inbreeding and genetic drifting
lesson5: Quantitative trait
lesson6: Genetics and evolution
lesson7: Classification of animals and their domestication
lesson8: Cattle: genetic diversity and breeds
lesson9: Pig: genetic diversity and breeds
lesson10: Chicken: genetic diversity and breeds
lesson11: Sheep and Goat: their breeds
lesson12: Why were zebras never domesticated?
