Document Summary
Humans from various parts of the world are therefore more genetically similar than might be predicted on the basis of observed hair colour, skin colour or other visible traits. Africa is the biggest melting pot of genetic diversity on earth. Her eggs & sperm are put in vitro to see early stages of embryonic development. They then select the normal embryos, not the mutant embryos. Now have 3 kids that don"t have gss. In a few generations, there will be much less genetic disease thanks to carrier screening! Improvement of human genetic condition by altering human genetic pool! Mendel"s first law: you have two copies of every gene. You have a 50% chance of passing either one to your child. Mendel: went to u of vienna (had doppler as a teacher), dropped out of college because exams made him nervous! Two basic, universal principles according to which genes are transmitted through generations.
