SKYPE: Introduction to Genetics -
GT and I explored the vocabulary and basic constructs of Heredity, from the double helix shape to the amino acid triplets of the genetic code. We walked through the process of RNA translation and transcription, how mutations can occur during this process of protein synthesis, and how that fact gives the system strength and promotes evolution. We examined the basis of a chromosome and a human male karyotype, showing what chromosomes look like. We then examined how traits are inherited, how they relate to chromosomes, the difference between alleles and genes and finally variations. Lastly, we examined how environmental factors can influence some traits and how multiple genes can dictate some characteristics. Homework; Be prepared to be tested on mitosis and meiosis.
