Good morning everyone‚ Genetics is the study of how living organisms pass on traits to each generation. It also explores the variations in every make-up of cells. Every living organism contains instruction manuals inside of their body. These instruction manuals are called genes. (Medicine‚ What is a gene?‚ 2015)Genes lie in long strands of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) called chromosomes. DNA containing genes form structures call chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Chromosomes are made

The Role of Genetics on Development PSY/104 Child and Adolescent Development The Role of Genetics on Development We all know that since the beginning time history has taught us that generations of human beings are born‚ molded‚ and changed from generation to the next through genetics. During that time people have always wondered how exactly this miraculous feat really works? Just from a quick observation you can always tell that a child may look more like one parent but after close observation

Introduction Genetics is the study of units of heredity. Genes determine almost everything about what makes humans humans and genes are passed from parent to offspring‚ because genes have a strong influence on all organisms. Genetics a very broad scientific discipline and the father of genetics is Gregor Mendel. Gregor Mendel studies how genes were inherited in pea plants by crossbreeding thousands of those and discovering their patterns and characteristics. In 20th century the technology has advanced

Genetic Disorders: Schizophrenia April 18‚2011 Background Genetic Disorders occur when there is a change or mutation in the information contained in the genes. When cells get older or they have been exposed to something harmful disorders can occur. Genetic disorders can be caused by a mutation in one gene called monogenic disorder‚ by mutations in multiple genes called multifactorial inheritance disorder‚ by a combination of gene mutations and environmental factors‚ or by damage to chromosomes
