BIOL 1107 Chapter Notes - Chapter 14: Gregor Mendel, Pea Coat, Blending Inheritance
Document Summary
In 1865 gregor mendel worked out the rules of inheritance through a series of brilliant experiments on garden peas. Early in the 20th century, walter sutton and theodor boveri formulated the chromosome theory of inheritance: proposes that meiosis caused the patterns of inheritance that mendel observed. Genetics: branch of biology that focuses on inheritance. Photoreceptors: stimulate nerve cells, regions of brain, interpret image-brown color. Expression of the gene: not brown eyes, expression of gene is transcript of rna which goes to ribosomes to be translated, transformed into protein, goes into cells of eyes, interacts with other proteins, to create thing we call brown. Gene has capacity, if transcribed, to create expression-protein, the cell can control whether gene is transcribed, can control whether protein will interact with other proteins. If proteins are blocked from interacting, no expression. Regulate at gene, not allow it to be transcribed. Regulate at ribosomes, not allow it to be translated by destroying mrna.
