Principles of genetics

Part 1 Genetics and the scientific method: introduction. Part 2 Mendel's principles: mitosis and meiosis probability and statistics sex determination sex linkage, and pedigree analysis linkage and mapping in eukaryotes linkage and mapping in prokaryotes and bacterial viruses cytogenetics. Part 3 Molecular genetics: chemistry of the gene gene expression - transcription gene expression - translation recombinant DNA technology gene expression - control in prokaryotes and phages the eukaryotic chromosome gene expression - control in eukaryotes DNA - its mutation, repair and recombination non-Mendelian inheritance. Part 4 Quantitative and evolutionary genetics: quantitative inheritance population genetics - the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and mating systems population genetics - processes that change allelic frequencies evolution and speciation appendices.
