Introduction to Genetics

A summary of the lectures covering the human genome, genetic variation and homologous and non-homologous recombination.

A summary of the lecture on the structure and principles of DNA and chromosomes

A summary of the lectures on how chromosomes can vary in structure and number and the linkage of genes on chromosomes.

A summary of the lecture on adaptation and the various forms of adaptation that organisms can undergo.

A summary of the lectures which describe the properties or RNA, how DNA is transcribed and the processing of mRNA to mature mRNA.

A summary of the lecture on human and quantitative genetics including notes on hardy-weinberg and linkage disequilibrium and how we can identify the diseased gene based on pedigree diagrams.

A summary of the lecture on the factors controlling gene expression and how RNA can be modified or silenced to alter gene expression and phenotypes.

A summary of the lecture on how DNA is replicated and can be repaired. In addition, it covers how was can amplify DNA through PCR and genetically manipulate DNA.

A summary of the lectures on adaptation and evolution including content on natural selection, phylogenies, homologous and analogous structures.
