Document Summary
The study of inheritance of observable traits (blue eyes ) from one generation to the next. The study of the molecular process involved in the transfer of genetic information from the genotype (all dna of an organism) to the phenotype of an organism. The action of many genes is influenced by the environment. Gene or set of genes gets activated or deactivated depends on the soil ph. Effect of temperature on the development of wing size (a) e. g. fruit flies. Grow blue in acid soil (b) e. g. himalayan rabbit. Expression of the trait depends on the temperature at which it is reared: genetics. Gene themselves play a role, not just how they are expressed. The set of proteins that you have that determine the way you look. An organism"s genetic makeup, the genetic information in the genes. The combination of this determines the phenotype (recessive traits and dominant traits) Visible by microscopes during cell division because it gets condensed.
