Document Summary

Understand the genetic basis for the disease like you learnt for eofad. Yes, the quiz material is important and testable. Watson & creek: discovery of genotypes general structure, which made it possible to look at genes directly and not just phenotypes. They began the study of genetics and insight into genetic processes. The 4 requirements for genetic material: must be capable of carrying large amounts of information. W & c model shows this info is coded in the base sequence of dna: ability to replicate faithfully. W & c model shows complementary polynucleotide strands allow this to be possible. Unzip, break weak h-bonds, each strand serves as a template to produce: ability to be expressed as a phenotype newly identical double-strands. Done so through transcription then translation into proteins that carry out specific functions: the capacity to vary. Dna variation consists of differences in the dna sequence.
