Table of Contents:
Disc 1: Classical Genetics Concept 1-Children resemble their parents. (Gregor Mendel: introduction) Concept 2-Genes come in pairs. (Gregor Mendel: genetic alleles) Concept 3-Genes don't blend. (Gregor Mendel: inheritance) Concept 4-Some genes are dominant. (Gregor Mendel: dominance) Concept 5-Genetic inheritance follows rules. (Punnett squares) Concept 6-Genes are real things. (rediscovery of Mendel's laws) Concept 7-All cells arise from pre-existing cells. (mitosis) Concept 8-Sex cells have one set of chromosomes; body cells have two. (meiosis) Concept 9-Specialized chromosomes determine gender. (sex chromosomes) Concept 10-Chromosomes carry genes. (fruit fly genetics) Concept 11-Genes get shuffled when chromosomes exchange pieces. (genetic recombination) Concept 12-Evolution begins with the inheritance of gene variations. (early plant genetics, evolution) Concept 13-Mendelian laws apply to human beings. (sex-linked genes, early human genetics) Concept 14-Mendelian genetics cannot fully explain human health and behavior. (eugenics) Disc 2: Molecules of Genetics Concept 15-DNA and proteins are key molecules of the cell nucleus. (DNA and amino acid discovery and structure) Concept 16-One gene makes one protein. (relating genes and protein function) Concept 17-A gene is made of DNA. (Oswald Avery: DNA as the transforming principle) Concept 18-Bacteria and viruses have DNA too. (conjugation, Hershey and Chase experiment) Concept 19-The DNA molecule is shaped like a twisted ladder. (Watson and Crick: 3-D structure of DNA) Concept 20-A half DNA ladder is a template for copying the whole. (DNA replication) Concept 21-RNA is an intermediary between DNA and proteins. (RNA transcription, translation) Concept 22-DNA words are three letters long. (genetic code, translation) Concept 23-A gene is a discrete sequence of DNA nucleotides. (DNA sequencing) Concept 24-The RNA message is sometimes edited. (RNA splicing, exons, introns) Concept 25-Some viruses store genetic information in RNA. (retroviruses, reverse transcriptase) Concept 26-RNA was the first genetic molecule. (RNA/DNA evolution) Concept 27-Mutations are changes in genetic information. (DNA mutations) Concept 28-Some types of mutations are automatically repaired. (DNA repair) Disc 3: Genetic Organization and Control Concept 29-DNA is packaged in a chromosome. (DNA packaging, chromatin) Concept 30-Higher cells incorporate an ancient chromosome. (mitochondrial DNA) Concept 31-Some DNA does not encode protein. (non-coding, junk DNA) Concept 32-Some DNA can jump. (McClintock: jumping genes, transposons) Concept 33-Genes can be turned on and off. (lac operon, control of gene expression) Concept 34-Genes can be moved between species. (DNA transformation, insulin production in bacteria) Concept 35-DNA responds to signals from outside the cell. (cell signaling, interferon pathway) Concept 36-Different genes are active in different kinds of cells. (gene expression, gene chip and DNA array technology) Concept 37-Master genes control basic body plans. (fruit fly gene expression, development) Concept 38-Development balances cell growth and death. (cell cycle, cell death) Concept 39-A genome is an entire set of genes. (Human Genome Project) Concept 40-Living things share common genes. (DNA homology between species) Concept 41-DNA is only the beginning for understanding the human genome. (gene targeting, proteomics)
