Document Summary
Genetics can be organized from small to large. Nitrogenous base nucleotides single-stranded dna double stranded dna chromatin chromosomes genes transcripts proteins. There can then be mutations in the genes, non-coding genes, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and more. The big idea is that genetics is life. Complexity - sexual reproduction and complex life forms. Diversity - due to a result of genetic changes. Design- the diversity of design seen in living organisms. Disease -many reasons why we get disease is due to genetics; malaria prevention by genetically modified mosquitos. Death - cancer or mutations in genomes. Nowadays, genetics is reliant on big data and big computers to analyze the massive data of genetics. Thus, breakthrough in computers result in breakthrough in genetics. This is where genes and genomes are found. The evolution & diversification of life are the result of genetic and genomic changes.
