We finished covering the last part of the 'cells and cell division' chapter (ch. 2): Gametogenesis
We started talking about Mendelian genetics (chapter 3) with an overview of Mendel's classic experiments, and how they lead him to postulate one of the principles that has become one of the pillars of genetics:
- Principle of Segregation
Quiz # 1 Qs & As
1. What are the properties of genes?
They can mutate, be turned on and off, and recombine
2. Mention three of the approaches to studying genetics (fields of study within genetics)
Transmission genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, population genetics
3. What is recombinant DNA technology?
Using restriction enzymes to isolate fragments of DNA and recombine them with other fragments (usually plasmids to transform bacteria sand clone the DNA fragment) to be studied through a variety of techniques, or used in industry applications
4. What are the stages of the cell cycle?
Interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis
5. Mention one of the principles Mendel came up with after intensively studying his pea plants
Principles of segregation and independent assortment
