GEN-3000 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Gametogenesis, Bacteriophage, Hugo De Vries
Document Summary
Transmission genetics the process by which traits controlled by genes are transferred through gametes from one generation to another. The watson-crick model of dna (the double helix) is the foundation of molecular genetics. Recombinant dna technology was the foundation for the human genome project. Translational medicine genetic findings are translated into new methods of diagnosis and treatment. Epigenesis an organism rises through the sequential development of new structures: william harvey is credited with the theory of epigenesis. Preformation the sperm or the fertilized egg contains a homunculus a mini adult. Cell theory all organisms are composed of cells, which are derived from preexisting cells: matthias schlieden and theodor schwann are credited with the cell theory. Spontaneous generation the creation of living organisms from non-living components: disproved by louis pasteur. Natural selection was also proposed by alfred russel wallace. Gregor mendel"s work with genetics was duplicated by carl correns, hugo de vries, and.
