Most MCAT students waste time memorizing Punnett squares and ratios without really understanding probability. Thatβs why genetics feels overwhelming.
In this episode, Molly and Mike break down Mendelian genetics for the MCAT: the truth about dominant vs. recessive, how to use Punnett squares correctly, the probability errors that cost students points, and how to master classic ratios (3:1, 9:3:3:1) without rote memorization. Youβll also learn how linked genes and independent assortment show up on test day.
