Description
This book studies genetics, focusing on genes as the fundamental units of heredity, their transmission from parents to offspring, and their cellular actions. It examines modern genetics' emphasis on DNA, the chemical substances composing genes, and how gene action relies on environmental interactions. The text covers Mendelian genetics and its basis for predicting genotypes and phenotypes, alongside more complex genetic phenomena such as blood types and skin color. Additionally, the book explores the human genome, detailing the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, gene expression regulation, genome projects, and the structural role of DNA in encoding hereditary information and protein synthesis. It addresses historical perspectives on heredity, including early philosophical ideas, spermism, ovism, pangenesis, and blending theories, as well as Gregor Mendel's foundational experiments with garden peas. Designed for advanced study, the volume serves researchers, molecular biologists, biotechnologists, and teachers.
