ANT202H5 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Pleiotropy, Trisomy, Lactase
Document Summary
Genetics information that is passed along from one generation to the next. Molecular genetics how genes act to produce biological structures at the level of the cell. Cellular replication the transmission of genetic material from one cell to the next. Mendelian genetics branch of genetics concerned with inheritance. Named for gregor mendel who first worked out principles of inheritance. Population genetics patterns of genetic transmission in populations over time which forms the mathematical basis of evolutionary theory. Microevolution genetic changes within populations from one generation to the next. Macroevolution the long-term pattern of evolution over thousands and millions of years as well as the origin of new species. Dna molecule that provides the genetic code for biological structures and the means to translate this code. A (adenine), t (thymine), g (guanine) and c (cytosine) These are used in specifying and carrying out genetic instructions. Rna serves as messenger & decoder for dna info.
