BIOL 4246 Chapter : 6 4 12
Document Summary
The course: molecular mechanisms of inheritance, understand how it works so we can deal with it and expect it, know terminology. Genetic nomenclature: phenotype-the observable traits, measurable and detectable, genotype- genetic composition, all the genetic determinants. Multiple ersions of genes are alleles of one another. One instance when this is not enough to specify is antibiotic resistance. Use a superscript r for resistance or a r (strr or str-r) do the same thing with a superscript s or s for sensitivity. Antibiotic resistance has nothing to do with wild type or mutant. Mutant is an organism whose dna sequence differs from that found in the wild type. Genotype differs for wild-type: mutation- inheritable change in the dna sequence relative to the wild type. Must exclude programmed dna rearrangements: wild type- as in nature, through evolution we have differences in coding regions to give or take certain functions.
