Study guide: gen 3020: chapter 1 (lecture) Charles darwin (1809-1882) theory of evolution/natural selection epigenesis, an organism arises through the sequential appearance and development of new structures, conflicts with preformation/homunculus. Matthias schleiden and theodor schwann proposed the cell theory, all organisms are composed of cells and cells arise from cells. Sutton proposed genes are on chromosomes (1902) gilbert and sanger developed dna sequencing techniques (1977) diploid (humans are 46) cells contain chromosomes in homologous pairs. Classical/transmission genetics - examines the principles of heredity. Molecular genetics - deals with the gene and the cellular processes by which genetic information is transferred and expressed. Population genetics - concerns the genetic composition of groups of organisms and how that composition changes geographically and with the passage of time: gen 3020: chapter 2 (lecture) There are two major groups of life: eubacteria and eukaryotes: eubacteria true bacteria are prokaryotes, i. e. bacteria and archaea, eukaryotes true nucleus include protists, plants, fungi and animals.
