    reported to exhibit the expression of adaptive traits of increased fertility and biotic and abiotic stress resistance respectively. (Dobzhansky‚ 1950). Genetic models to explain heterosis Traditional genetic analyses of heterosis are based on the quantitative effects of the genes between two opposite inbred lines. Three major classical genetic models have been suggested to explain the hybrid vigor: the dominance hypothesis explains increased vigor to the action at multiple loci of favorable dominant

    Activity 2 Genetic and Chromosomal Abnormalities There are many genetic and chromosomal abnormalities that ail much of our population today. The three that I chose to discuss‚ not only peak my interest‚ but are also disorders that I plan to work with in the future: Klinefelter Syndrome‚ Fragile X Syndrome‚ and Downs Syndrome. All three disorders impair those that they affect‚ in mental‚ cognitive and physical aspects of their lives. Thankfully today we have a lot of helpful information that categorizes

    Introduction: * Genetics are composed of five main areas: DNA replication‚ meiosis‚ reproduction‚ adaptation and evolution. The body is composed of 46 chromosomes (23 from your mother and 23 of your father). The genes are in your cells in the nucleus and some in the mitochondria. The genes are a small part of a long molecule called DNA. DNA is a double stranded molecule (sugar‚ phosphate and four different bases: Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Cytosine and Guanine). The bases in the DNA are

    Although the BRCA1 gene currently acts as a predictive factor with regards to breast cancer‚ this may not always prove to be the case. There are two major reasons for this. One of these reasons is that genetics can fluctuate and mutate over generations‚ so that the link may break and cease to hold value over time. The second of these is because we have not fully finished analyzing the human genome‚ and we may find out something disproving this marker as a genetic marker‚ instead attaching that analysis

    Niccol’s film‚ “Gattaca” describes a world where genetic engineering has become norm. Based on a society where intellect is built not on diligence and determination but instead genetic determinism‚ the film explores oppression in society‚ displaying just how easily corruption can become.

    Gene testing should be available for disorders that cannot be cured or prevented Genetic tests are done by analysing small samples of blood or body tissue. Therefore they can determine whether people carry the genes for certain inherited diseases. Genetic testing is continuously developing and has now developed enough that doctors can often accurately pinpoint missing of defective genes. This is crucial in the prevention of inherited disorders and giving parents around the world a chance to raise

    DROSOPHILA GENETICS DROSOPHILA CULTURE We will study basic principles of Mendelian inheritance with the use of the fruit fly‚ Drosophila melanogaster [the name means “black-bodied fruit-lover”]. Drosophila was one of the first organisms to be studied genetically: its small size‚ short life cycle (10 ~14 days at 25oC)‚ high reproductive rate (an adult female can lay 400-500 eggs in 10 days)‚ and ease of culture and genetic manipulation have made it perhaps the best understood animal genetic system.
