to cover. From the name of the process of genetic diversity‚ it can be inferred that this deals with genes and genetics. The first thing to address would be the field of study that this involves. This would be the field of genetics. Genetics is the study of biologically inherited traits called genes‚ including traits that are partially influenced by the environment. The existence of genes first became a hypothetical theory in 1866. It was introduced by Gregor Mendel. His studies was not taken

heredity. Genes determine almost everything about what makes humans humans and genes are passed from parent to offspring‚ because genes have a strong influence on all organisms. Genetics a very broad scientific discipline and the father of genetics is Gregor Mendel. Gregor Mendel studies how genes were inherited in pea plants by crossbreeding thousands of those and discovering their patterns and characteristics. In 20th century the technology has advanced and scientists were able to study the gene itself

“Character Traits Determined Genetically? Genes May Hold the Key to a Life of Success‚ Study Suggests.” I: Introduction Do genes distinguish our personality traits or is it simply environment‚ and upbringing that makes us who we are? Psychologists at the University of Edinburgh have discovered that genes may play a greater role in forming character traits than they were thought to before. Things such as self-control‚ decision-making or sociability could be more nature than nurture.

To alter the sequence of nucleotides of the DNA that code for the structure of a complex living organism‚ can have extremely ill effects although the potential benefits can be huge. Before advances in genetic applications‚ gene therapy was unheard of and genetic defects were always inherited‚ plaguing generations. Today genetic testing is widely available‚ such as prenatal karyotyping of chromosomes to check for genetic abnormalities. Genetic testing is also useful for families

Leaves were cut in small portions and were transferred to media containing antibiotic (Kanamycin)‚ making the media selective for explants containing antibiotic resistant genes. The growth of shoots from the explants then grew and confirmed for the successful transformation of our gene of interest.

Chapter 8 Heredity and Genetic Variation (Objectives) pg. 192-221 Questions: 1. The role of genes in heredity is to carry the traits for the making of DNA. 2. The law of probability says that each chance of probability is equal in the sense of the possible outcomes of the traits present. 4. Dominant masks the recessive which in situations where both trait alleles are present in a gene the organism would be heterozygous and the dominant allele will be what phenotype trait will be shown

1958. In 1953‚ Watson and Crick were the first to determine the true crystalline structure of DNA‚ using model building and then X-ray crystallography. Once the DNA structure was determined‚ the mechanisms behind inheritance‚ information flow‚ and gene function fell into place. Overall the flow of information is depicted as: DNA --> RNA --> protein. Both DNA and RNA can be replicated (i.e. DNA is synthesized from DNA‚ and RNA from RNA). RNA can be made or transcribed from DNA. It is called transcription
