Document Summary
Many of the discoveries in genetics are found using other. Agriculture and horticultural genetics are things that may be organisms important with metabolic diseases (yeast); agriculture and crops. Mice are used frequently because it is a mammal closest approximation to human genes. Peas gregor mendel, beginning of genetics using pea plants. Variety of different spheres used in genetics. Do not simply memorize no idea how to use the term. Genetics: transmission of traits from one generation to the next. Central dogma of biology: dna to rna to proteins. Definition is deep and complicated; a concept to be. Gene location on chromosomes (within or not within a nucleus); mapping. Genes as little defined units but think of the contribution of many genes that build a trait such as height or behaviour ability to read primary literature of genetics. Flintstones versions of genetics, life begets life (hit two stones together you get small baby stones)
