BIO 260- Genetics Chapter 1: Fundamental Genetics Concepts
1. 1. Transmission Genetics
2. Molecular Genetics
3. Population Genetics: The three main fields of genetics
2. Transmission Genetics: How genes are passed down from parent to offspring
3. Molecular genetics: the study and manipulation of DNA on a molecular level
4. Population Genetics: describing the genes for a whole population
5. Chromosomes: The main structure of information in cells
- made of chromatin (DNA+proteins)
- carries and transmits many genes
6. Gene: An inherited factor that determines a trait/phenotype
- is made by DNA code (order is crucial bc DNA can be nonsensical)
7. Genome: Complete set of genetic instructions
