2. Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_Glossary_of...

   The Talking Glossary of Genetics is a science learning tool developed by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NHGRI oversaw the NIH's role in the Human Genome Project, the international research effort aimed at mapping the genes in the human body and developing tools for gene discovery ...

3. Personal Genetics Education Project - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_Genetics...

   The Personal Genetics Education Project (pgEd) [1] aims to engage and inform a worldwide audience about the benefits of knowing one's genome as well as the ethical, legal and social issues (ELSI) [2] and dimensions of personal genetics. [3] pgEd was founded in 2006, is housed in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and is ...

4. Outline of genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_genetics

   Genetics – science of genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. [1][2] Genetics deals with the molecular structure and function of genes, and gene behavior in context of a cell or organism (e.g. dominance and epigenetics), patterns of inheritance from parent to offspring, and gene distribution, variation and change in populations.

5. Introduction to genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_genetics

   A section of DNA; the sequence of the plate-like units (nucleotides) in the center carries information. Genes are pieces of DNA that contain information for the synthesis of ribonucleic acids (RNAs) or polypeptides. Genes are inherited as units, with two parents dividing out copies of their genes to their offspring.

6. Genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetics

   Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is an important branch in biology because heredity is vital to organisms' evolution . Gregor Mendel , a Moravian Augustinian friar working in the 19th century in Brno , was the first to study genetics scientifically.

7. Transversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversion

   Transversion, in molecular biology, refers to a point mutation in DNA in which a single (two ring) purine (A or G) is changed for a (one ring) pyrimidine (T or C), or vice versa. [1] A transversion can be spontaneous, or it can be caused by ionizing radiation or alkylating agents. It can only be reversed by a spontaneous reversion.

8. Mendelian inheritance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendelian_inheritance

   Mendelian inheritance (also known as Mendelism) is a type of biological inheritance following the principles originally proposed by Gregor Mendel in 1865 and 1866, re-discovered in 1900 by Hugo de Vries and Carl Correns, and later popularized by William Bateson. [1]

9. Molecular genetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_genetics

   t. e. Molecular genetics is a branch of biology that addresses how differences in the structures or expression of DNA molecules manifests as variation among organisms. Molecular genetics often applies an "investigative approach" to determine the structure and/or function of genes in an organism's genome using genetic screens. [1][2] The field ...
