forming the backbone of RNA / DNA. 1A. Typical DNA Molecule DNA is a complex molecule that is found in all living organisms. Constructing DNA models is a great way to learn about DNA structure‚ function and replication. DNA contains the genetic information for the reproduction of life. Its structure is that of a twisted double helix that is composed of long strands of alternating sugars and phosphate groups‚ as well as nitrogenous bases (adenine‚ thymine‚ guanine and cytosine). The basic

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

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

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

The gene therapy is not far from being a reality in medicine that can cure muscular dystrophy‚ and the injections of normal muscle cells from healthy individuals can relieve some of the pain they are experiencing until a cure is generated.

With the way genetic engineering is changing‚ people could look out their window in future years and see woolly mammoths roaming freely. Genetic engineering is a process that is performed to add DNA to an animal‚ human‚or plant. The reason being to give an organism attributes and characteristics that it does not already
