Genetics
Genome :sum total of our DNA
22 pairs +final is sex chromosome (XX +XY)
-
you get one from each parent
Diploid :both sets are copied
Haploid :(
sex cells )half copied so when they come together its one let
chromosomes :tightly Wound DNA
Genes :peices that code for proteins
-
homologous :Ifrom mother ,
1from father
Genes control some of our characteristics
-
eg Inheritance for colour blindness ,an Xlinked trait
>
Males have one X,theyre move likely to be colour blind
>
Females need to inherit 2 detect re genes
Mutations +Polymorphisms
Different individuals may have aslightly different sequence of nucleotides ,not really a
"mutation ''
,just a variation in SNPS
Mutations :when DNA replicates ,leaving adifferent nucleotide than the original

not always abad thing
What Is Epigenetic ?
(det .)the expression of genes ,without any change In the underlying DNA sequence
-
can be brought about due to diet ,lifestyle + other environmental exposures
-
the epigenetic tags can be changed ,but can also be transmitted

Genetics Epigenetic
Cells are the basic unit of life Epigehhcs controls which genes are active +when
DNA within the cells controls their fnnlhbh Different genes are active in different developmental Stages
DNA Is made Up of a combination of the 4bases A,G,
c+Tother things can affect If the gene µexpressed (diet ,environment )
The sequence of these bases is what Provides the Instructions Epigenetic is why we are unique -different combinations of genes are turned
There are millions of bases but within this are genes that provide on so each of uj prefer different foods or are more or less social for
Instructions to build Proteins example
Eplgenehc Tags
Different molecules are known to affect gene expression

Document Summary

22 pairs + final is sex chromosome (xx + xy ) you get one from each parent. Haploid sex cells ) half copied so when they come together its one let chromosomes : tightly wound dna. Genes : peices that code for proteins homologous : Genes control some of our characteristics eg inheritance for colour blindness an x linked trait. , theyre move likely to be colour blind. Different individuals may have a slightly different sequence of nucleotides not really a mutation just a variation in snps. : when dna replicates , leaving a different nucleotide than the original not always a bad thing. Is epigenetic ? ( det . ) the expression of genes , without any change. In the underlying dna sequence can be brought about due to diet lifestyle other environmental exposures the epigenetic tags can be changed , but can also be transmitted. Epigehhcs controls which genes are active + when.
