by Gregor

[Ehhf-IC5 the amount of genetic material does not necessarily reflect the level of advancement of an
organism

& variation the trait that the &
the
study of heredity dominant , is expresses itself in
heterozygous homozygous dominant
genotype


heredity ,
passing on
of traits 1 characteristics from one
generation to the next recessive > is the trait that expresses itself only in the
homozygous recessive
genotype

( )
Father of genetics Pure breed →
homozygous genetically similar mated parents produce a
purebred offspring

" "
-
Gregor Mendel = Father of genetics Di
hybrid -
a
hybrid that is
heterozygous for alleles of two different genes


-
Gregor Mendel & Charles Darwin never met mono
hybrid genetic mix between two individuals who have
homozygous genotypes

'
He was responsible for the first breakthrough in the study of heredity by investigating the transfer of characteristics from one
generation to the next



Darwin's &
-
theory of evolution Mandel 's
findings + laws were
gradually accepted



.
Many biologists use Mendel s research




- Mendelian
genetics is studied and
taught throughout the world




what is transferred from one
generation to the next




'
( Mendel "

something transferred from factors )
' "
. the parents to
offspring is
genes called them



'




. Part of DNA molecules in chromosomes




-
Spectacular advances in
understanding genes


Genes



- Each chromatic has one helical DNA molecule




- Each DNA molecule is made up of a series of genes hox
genes > master control
genes that determine the
way in which the body develops from a
single zygote
> a series of bases


gene , a section of DNA that controls a
hereditary trait
Epigenetics > control of genes


Each 100's of Human Epi genome project
. chromosome has to loads several
genes > aims to document what switches
genes on and
off


Human human
• In humans between 20 Ooo to 25000
genome > entire
genetic blueprint of a
being

Genome > complete set of genetic instructions




-
nearly all somatic cells have an exact
copy of all the
genes in the
organism


> mature red blood cells have no nuclei no chromosomes : no
genes
'

. .




- 2 kinds of chromosomes : maternal & Paternal

/ > allele = variation of gene
>
therefore two kinds of each
gene


.
gene pool : set of all
genes
&
genetic information in a population of sexually reproducing organisms

>
large gene pool =
high genetic diversity & decreased possibility of extinction




How active bone cells brain cells skin cells
are
genes

- Each cell has a
full complement of DNA :
only the
genes
needed are activated & others suppressed . :
different genes activated in
different cells which creates a specific protein for that cell




some
only active
during embryo development
'
genes are




" "
' Some
genes are active most of the time for basic functions =

Housekeeping genes ,
some
genes are inactive most of the time



. non -


coding DNA 198%)= doesn't code for protein & found between
coding sections
