Chapter 13 Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles Overview: Hereditary Similarity and Variation Living organisms are distinguished by their ability to reproduce their own kind Heredity is the transmission of traits from one generation to the next Variation shows that offspring differ in appearance from parents and siblings Genetics is the scientific study of heredity and variation Concept 13.1: Offspring acquire genes from parents by inheriting chromosomes In a literal sense, children do not inherit particular physical traits from their parents It is genes that are actually inherited Inheritance of Genes Genes are the units of heredity Genes are segments of DNA Each gene has a specific locus on a certain chromosome One set of chromosomes is inherited from each parent

Chapter 17 From Gene to Protein Lecture Outline Overview: The Flow of Genetic Information The information content of DNA is in the form of specific sequences of nucleotides along the DNA strands. The DNA inherited by an organism leads to specific traits by dictating the synthesis of proteins. Gene expression, the process by which DNA directs protein synthesis, includes two stages called transcription and translation. Proteins are the links between genotype and phenotype. For example, Mendel?s dwarf pea plants lack a functioning copy of the gene that specifies the synthesis of a key protein, gibberellin. Gibberellins stimulate the normal elongation of stems. Concept 17.1 Genes specify proteins via transcription and translation

Chapter 16 The Molecular Basis of Inheritance Lecture Outline Overview: Life?s Operating Instructions In April 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick shook the scientific world with an elegant double-helical model for the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. Your genetic endowment is the DNA you inherited from your parents. Nucleic acids are unique in their ability to direct their own replication. The resemblance of offspring to their parents depends on the precise replication of DNA and its transmission from one generation to the next. It is this DNA program that directs the development of your biochemical, anatomical, physiological, and (to some extent) behavioral traits. Concept 16.1 DNA is the genetic material The search for genetic material led to DNA.

Heredity and Behavior: Is it All in the Genes? Emily Moler Biological makeup is Intimately related to your behavior. Every cell in your body contains enduring messages from your mother and father These are found on the chromosomes that lie within nucleus Chromosomes Strand of DNA that carry genetic information There are 46 in each cell (except for the sex cells) and are found in 23 pairs, each half of the pair comes from either your mom or dad. Fertilization This is when a parent will give their genes to their child. The parents create a zygote, which is a single cell formed by the union of a sperm and an egg. Genes DNA segments that serve as the key functional units in hereditary transmission. They are found on chromosomes. More on Chromosomes

Genetics-Gregor Mendel
Gregor Mendel was he father of modern genetics. He created punnet squares which predict the outcome of offspring for a specific trait. It uses both the mother and the father's genes, and the outcome depends on how many parents have the trait, and whether it is dominant or recessive.
