Study Notes
Genetics
- Genetics is the study of genes, including how they carry information, how that information is expressed, and how genes are replicated
- It involves understanding the composition and function of genetic material
Chromosomes and Genes
- Chromosomes are structures that physically carry hereditary information
- Chromosomes contain genes, which are segments of DNA
- Genes encode functional products, such as proteins, that perform specific functions in an organism
