ANSC 1011 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Epistasis, Allele, Mating System
Document Summary
What and why are animal breeding and genetics important: decides which individuals become parents, choose most favorable individuals to become parents, improve economically important traits (ex: growth, meat quality, etc. ) Four major branches of genetics: molecular, transmission, population, quantitative. Individual dna makeup that codes for physical traits: gmos, the current branch of research, mapping, gene function, marker development: the part that helps the accuracy of selection, selection. Transmission: how traits are inherited, passed to offspring, manipulation in order to achieve increase in performance. Population: distribution and behavior of genes in various populations, biological diversity, past and present, darwin: father environments. Animal breeding defined: application of all technologies and disciplines of genetics to improve the selection of livestock for increased production, phenotype: how animals looks for performs. Central dogma of genetics: rule of genetics as a whole, dna: source of our physiology, dna (replication) rnaprotein.
