Study Notes
Cytogenetics Overview
- Cytogenetics is the study of chromosomes and diseases caused by abnormal chromosome numbers or structures.
- Chromosomes hold hereditary factors (genes).
- Abnormal chromosome numbers/sizes affect an organism's development.
- Cytogenetics combines cytology (study of cells) and genetics (study of heredity).
- It aims to understand how cells create an organism's traits, including genetic disorders.
Molecular Level Advances
- Modern cytogenetics/genetics has advanced to the molecular level.
- This includes biochemical and molecular genetics.
