- It has been recognized by Guinness World Records for the most copies published for the same comic book series by a single author.
- As of May 2018, it has sold over 440 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling manga series of all time.
Genetics
Key Concepts
- Genetics is the study of heredity, genes, and genetic variation.
- A genome is the complete set of genetic information contained within an organism's DNA.
- A gene is a unit of heredity that carries information from one generation to the next.
- Traits are characteristics of an organism that are influenced by genes.
DNA Structure
The Double Helix Structure
- DNA is twisted into a double helix structure.
- Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA, composed of sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous bases (A, C, G, and T).
- Base pairing rules: A-T and G-C pairing rules hold the double helix together.
Gene Expression
Transcription and Translation
- Transcription is the process of creating a complementary RNA copy from a DNA template.
- Translation is the process of building a protein from an RNA sequence.
- Codons are sequences of three nucleotides that code for specific amino acids.
- The genetic code is the set of rules that dictate the translation of codons into amino acids.
Inheritance Patterns
Mendelian Inheritance
- Mendelian inheritance is the study of how traits are passed down from generation to generation, following the laws of Mendel.
- Autosomal dominant inheritance: one allele is dominant over another.
- Incomplete dominance: when neither allele is completely dominant.
- Co-dominance: when both alleles have an equal effect on the phenotype.
Genetic Variation
Sources of Variation
- Mutations: changes in the DNA sequence that can affect gene function.
- Genetic drift: random events that alter allele frequencies in a population.
- Gene flow: the movement of genes from one population to another.
- Natural selection: the process by which alleles that confer a survival or reproductive advantage become more common in a population.
