Study Notes

Genetics - Introduction

  • Genetics is the study of inheritance, examining the molecular basis of inheritance, trait transmission, and gene movement within and between populations.
  • Traditionally divided into three sub-disciplines: transmission genetics, molecular genetics, and population genetics.

Transmission Genetics

  • Focuses on the principles of inheritance and how traits are passed from one generation to the next.
  • Covers the relationships between chromosomes, heredity, and gene mapping.

Molecular Genetics

  • Examines the chemical nature of genes, including how genetic information is encoded, replicated, and expressed.
  • Includes cellular processes like replication, transcription, and translation.

Population Genetics

  • Explores the genetic makeup of populations and how this composition changes over time and space.
  • This is the fundamental study of evolution.

DNA Structure

  • The length of DNA is approximately 2 meters.
  • Only about 1% is actively involved in protein production, the remainder acts as a supportive structure.
