DNA and Genetics (graded)
When Gregor Mendel formulated his three laws of inheritance, he opened the door to a long line of research that has produced a deep understanding of how genetic traits are transmitted from one generation to the next. Our understanding of the nature of the gene began with his work. And in a triumph no less profound than landing a human being on the moon, his research has led us to point where we have mapped the entire genome of the human being. During the course of this discussion, we will explore the nature of the gene. What are alleles? What are the various models of inheritance? What is the structure of DNA, the material from which genes are constructed? How is the information in DNA transmitted from one generation to the next?
