Genetics and Disorders Candace Artis PSY 104 Child and Adolescent Instructor: Dominique Jeffery March 13th‚ 2013 In this paper I will be addressing the following questions: What are genes? How do genes of the two parents influence the traits of an offspring? What is Sickle Cell and who is at risk? How abnormalities can contribute to genetic and/or chromosomal disorders such as‚ sickle cell? Before I discuss genes‚ I have to tell what genes are. Genes are working subunits of DNA.

Genetics Paper Each human in the world is created both separate and unique. Although members of a family may possess common traits‚ each member has their own individuality. Genetics allows for a creation of a unique individual. Chromosomes‚ meiosis‚ and fertilization are essential parts of genetics vital to the development of a distinct organism. The effect of each allows for a world in which no human is equal. To begin‚ chromosomes in genetics plays a key role in individuality. In genetics

In biology‚ term- mutation has been described as changes to the base pair sequence of the genetic material of an organism. Mutations can be caused by: copying errors in the genetic material during cell division‚ by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation‚ chemical mutagens‚ or viruses‚ or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as hypermutation. In multicellular organisms‚ mutations can be subdivided into germ line mutations‚ which can be passed on to descendants

MENDEL`S PRINCIPLES OF GENETICS 1.0 INTRODUCTION: 1.1 BACKGROUND Gregor Mendel‚ who is now considered as founder of classical genetics‚ ( Elrod S. & Stansfield w‚2010)‚ conducted a series of experiments using garden pea plants‚ his aim was to find a way of explaining to his fellow scientists who believed the blending theory which had been proposed earlier by Wiseman‚ that heredity involved the interaction of discrete separable factors (now known as genes) After a statistical analysis of the

Genetic Engineering Although genetic engineering is an entirely new field‚ it has fascinated mankind for many years. Genetic engineering gives the power to change many aspects of nature and could result in a lot of life-saving and preventative treatments. Today‚ scientists have a greater understanding of genetics and its role in living organisms. However‚ if this power is misused‚ the damage could be very great. Therefore‚ although genetic engineering is a field that should be explored‚ it needs
