Document Summary

The chemical code for development, guiding cells to develop characteristics of the body. Example= dolphins can sense baby in womb of mother- genetic feature. What type of genes we have (our genetic code/ what we inherit, can contain more than one gene) How our genes are expressed (eye colour, hair colour) Increased likelihood of developing a particular disease casted on a person"s genetic makeup. Example --- a breast cancer (brca) gene test is a blood test to check for specific changes (mutations) in genes that help control normal cell growth. Finding changes in these genes, called brca1 and brca2, can help determine your chance of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer. The amount of inheritability of a trait/ how likely you are to inherit that trait. Examples to determine= comparing members of family that live together. Complete set of genetic info for humans, what is common for a species (gorilla/chimp) How dna was discovered (the structure, it"s base pair,
