Chapter 10 Foundations of Genetics Lecture Notes 1 Foundations of Genetics Mendel and the Garden pea The father of modern Genetics is Gregor Mendel. Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) was an Austrian monk who lived in a monastery where the experiments with the garden pea were performed. Mendel’s work with the garden pea was the fundamental study which unveiled the laws that govern genetics and heredity. Mendel was the first to use the scientific method in a very systematic and analysed his results

Genetic Discrimination Secret genetic testing at Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railroad lead the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to file a discrimination law suit against the company for potentially using the information obtained in these test against their employees. The Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) referenced the American Disability Act’s statement that “it is unlawful to conduct genetic testing with the intent to discriminate in the workplace” Burlington Northern

Genetic engineering‚ also called genetic modification‚ is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence‚ or by synthesizing the DNA‚ and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed‚ or "knocked out"‚ using a nuclease. Gene targeting is a different technique that useshomologous recombination to

allows a genetic breakthrough to be acknowledged by humanity in a matter of mere minutes. However‚ even with extreme bursts of technology‚ there are many mysteries that this world harbors which scientists have been trying to unravel for many decades. Many of these mysteries have much to do with the complexity of a muscle that is located underneath the human skull in which is called the brain. Technological advancement has allowed scientists to understand the intricacies of genetics. Genetics are linked

The Phenomenon that is Genetic Transformation Matt Kimmel November 17‚ 2011 Bio 121-012 Introduction Genetic transformation is when the genetic makeup of an organism is altered by it receiving external genetic material (Barnhart and Hopper‚ 2011). Bacterial transformation was first seen during an experiment by Fredric Griffith in 1928. In the experiment there were two strains of bacteria‚ a virulent strain‚ and non-virulent strain. Virulent simply means disease causing‚ and therefore non-virulent
