Document Summary

Dna: since then, researchers have mapped entire genome- (cid:272)o(cid:373)plete set of a(cid:374) orga(cid:374)is(cid:373)"s genes, human genome experiment showed, humans have fewer genes than we thought, most of these genes are possessed by all living things.

The transmission of genetic material- chromosomes and genes- from parent to offspring. Sex determination: sex chromosomes- the (cid:272)hro(cid:373)oso(cid:373)es (cid:894)x a(cid:374)d y(cid:895) that deter(cid:373)i(cid:374)e a(cid:374) i(cid:374)di(cid:448)idual"s ge(cid:374)der. Genetic transmission of disorders: dominant recessive patterns, when an individual has two recessive alleles, ex. Phenylketonuria (pku), sickle-cell anemia, tay-sachs disease, cystic fibrosis: can be caused by a dominant gene ex.
