Genetics Overview

  • Genetics is the study of heredity and the variations in organisms. It explores how traits are passed down from parents to offspring, focusing on genes, chromosomes, and their interactions.

Genetic Material

  • DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) stores genetic information, forming a double helix structure.
  • RNA (Ribonucleic acid) translates genetic information from DNA and plays a crucial role in protein synthesis.

Chromosomes

  • Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, each containing genes.
  • Genes are segments of DNA that determine specific traits or characteristics.

Genes

  • Alleles are different variations of a gene, existing in pairs, and influence the trait expression.

Inheritance

  • Mendelian genetics explains how traits are inherited based on the work with pea plants.
  • Dominant and recessive alleles determine the expression of a specific trait.
  • Polygenic inheritance involves multiple genes working together to create a trait, like skin colour.

Mutation

  • Genetic mutations are changes in the DNA sequence, leading to variations.
  • Point mutations involve alterations in a single nucleotide.
  • Chromosomal mutations are changes in the structure or number of chromosomes.

Genetic Technologies

  • Gene editing techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 can be used to modify the genome, potentially treating genetic disorders
  • Genetic selection, involving controlled breeding, is used to improve desirable traits in plants and animals.

Applications

  • Medicine uses genetics to diagnose and manage genetic disorders.
  • Agriculture uses genetic modification for crop enhancement.
  • Forensic science employs DNA analysis for identification and criminal investigation.

Current Research

  • Genome sequencing strives to map and analyze the complete DNA of an organism, providing insights into its genetic makeup.
  • Studies focus on understanding genetic diversity and its conservation, ensuring responsible management of genetic resources.
