Study Notes
Genetics Study Notes
- Gregor Mendel is considered the first to study genetics scientifically.
Mendel's Studies
- Mendel studied the inheritance of traits in pea plants (Pisum sativum) to understand the principles of genetics.
Primary Principles of Genetics
- The primary principles of genetics in the 21st century are based on the understanding of DNA, genes, and their expression.
Traits Inheritance
- Mendel observed that traits are inherited in a discrete rather than a blended fashion, meaning that parental traits do not blend together to form a new trait in the offspring.
Gene Study Context
- Gene structure and function, variation, and distribution are studied in the context of genomics, which is the study of the structure, function, and evolution of genomes.
