Mendelian Genetics Introduction In 1865 an Austrian monk‚ Gregor Mendel‚ presented the results of painstaking experiments on the inheritance of the garden pea. Those results were heard‚ but not understood‚ by Mendel’s audience. In 1866‚ Mendel published his results in an obscure German journal. The result of this was that Mendel’s work was ignored and forgotten. Mendel died in 1884 without knowing the pivotal role his work would play in founding the modern discipline of genetics. By 1899‚ some

disease is first attributed to genetic causes ("inborn errors of metabolism"). (Sir Archibald Garrod‚ alkaptonuria) 1902 The chromosome theory of heredity is proposed by Sutton. Boveri recognizes that individual chromosomes are different from one another‚ but he doesn’t make a connection to Mendelian principles. Nevertheless‚ Boveri is given co-credit by friend E.B. Wilson (Sutton’s supervisor) for proposing the chromosome theory of inheritance. 1905 The word "genetics" is coined by William Bateson

1. Genetic cloning is one way of studying the specific proteins involved in cell division. A gene contains the instructions for how to make a protein. By mutating a gene‚ the protein’s shape‚ size and function could all be affected. Mutating a gene changes its instructions. Once a mutated gene is created and incorporated into a cell’s DNA‚ the cell replicates‚ creating many cells containing the mutant gene. The cells with the changed gene can then be compared to normal cells. For starters‚ you must

ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER Antisocial personality disorder is a disorder with a misleading name. Its name may lead one to believe that people with the disorder stay away from social interaction. That is anything but true. People with this disorder are very sociable. The thing that makes them antisocial is they way they do not adapt to normal social standards or behavior. People with antisocial personality disorder may come across as very friendly people‚ the intentions behind the friendly

Mendelian Genetics * Pea plants have several advantages for genetics. * Pea plants are available in many varieties with distinct heritable features (characters) with different variants (traits). * Another advantage of peas is that Mendel had strict control over which plants mated with which. * Each pea plant has male (stamens) and female (carpal) sexual organs. * In nature‚ pea plants typically self-fertilize‚ fertilizing ova with their own sperm.

membrane regulates the movement of water‚ nutrients and wastes into and out of the cell. Inside of the cell membrane are the working parts of the cell. At the center of the cell is the cell nucleus. The cell nucleus contains the cell’s DNA‚ the genetic code that coordinates protein synthesis. In addition to the nucleus‚ there are many organelles inside of the cell - small structures that help carry out the day-to-day operations of the cell. One important cellular organelle is the ribosome. Ribosomes
