Study Notes
Genetics
Definition of Genetics
- Study of heredity, genes, and genetic variation
- Examines how traits are passed down from one generation to the next
Key Concepts
- DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid): molecule that contains genetic information
- Genes: segments of DNA that code for specific traits
- Chromosomes: thread-like structures made up of DNA and proteins
- Genotype: genetic makeup of an individual
- Phenotype: physical and behavioral characteristics of an individual
Mendelian Genetics
- Gregor Mendel: father of modern genetics
-
Laws of Inheritance:
- Law of Segregation: each pair of alleles separates during gamete formation
- Law of Independent Assortment: alleles for different genes are sorted independently
- Law of Dominance: dominant alleles mask recessive alleles
Types of Inheritance
- Autosomal Dominant: one copy of the allele is enough to express the trait
- Autosomal Recessive: two copies of the allele are needed to express the trait
- X-Linked: genes located on the X chromosome
- Mitochondrial Inheritance: genes located in the mitochondria
Genetic Variation
- Mutations: changes in the DNA sequence
- Genetic Drift: random changes in the frequency of alleles
- Gene Flow: movement of alleles from one population to another
- Genetic Recombination: shuffling of alleles during meiosis
Applications of Genetics
- Genetic Engineering: manipulation of genes to produce desired traits
- Genetic Testing: identification of genetic disorders or traits
- Genomic Medicine: use of genetic information to diagnose and treat diseases
Learn the basics of genetics, including DNA, genes, chromosomes, genotype, and phenotype. Understand Mendelian genetics, types of inheritance, genetic variation, and applications of genetics.
