Study Notes
Human Genetics
- Contains 23 pairs of chromosomes
- Half of each chromosome is inherited from each parent
- Chromosomes contain multiple genes
- Genes are sequenced by DNA - AT, GC
Purpose of a Gene
- Genes are a set of instructions for building and maintaining an organism
- Genes are passed down from parents to offspring
Genomics vs Genetics
- Genomics is the study of the whole genome
- Genetics is the study of individual genes and their effects
Mendel's Principles of Inheritance
- There are distinct characteristics (phenotype) in the human body
- Each genetic characteristic (allele) has alternate forms
- The dominant allele determines the phenotype
- Alleles are randomly segregated
