I. Genetics: The Science of Heredity and Variation How are characteristics of one generation passed to the next? How can individuals of the same species and even siblings have different characteristics?
Slide 5-

Definition of Genetics What is genetics? -“Genetics is the study of heredity, the process in which a parent passes certain genes onto their children.” (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002048. htm)
Slide 6-

Definition of Genetics What does that mean? –Children inherit their biological parents’ genes that express specific traits, such as some physical characteristics, natural talents, and genetic disorders.
Slide 7-

Some Terminologies in Genetics Gene - a unit of inheritance that usually is directly responsible for one trait or character. Each individual has two genes for each trait, one comes from dad and the other from mom. Allele - alternate forms of a gene. Usually there are two alleles for every gene, sometimes there are more than two alleles present in population – termed multiple alleles
Slide 8-

Some Terminologies in Genetics Homozygous - when the two alleles are the same Heterozygous - when the two alleles are different Dominant - a trait (allele) that is expressed irregardless of the second allele Recessive - a trait that is only expressed when the second allele is the same (e.g. short plants are homozygous for the recessive allele)

Slide 10-

The beginning of Genetics Although scientific evidence for patterns of genetics inheritance did not appear until Mendel’s work, History shows that humankind just have been interested in heredity long before the dawn of civilization. The history of genetics includes following important milestones and work of scientists.
Slide 11-

Gregor Mendel(1866) Austrian botanist Gregor Mendel published the results of his experiments with pea plants. His work later provided the mathematical foundation of the science of genetics.
Slide 12-

Johann Friedrich Miescher (1869) Swiss biocheiist Johann Friedrich Miescher became the first to isolate nuclein, now known as DNA. Although he developed hypotheses explaining the role of nuclein in heredity, he ultimately concluded that one molecule alone could not provide the level of variation observed in nature within and between species.
Slide 13-

Hugo de Vries, Carl Erich Correns and Erich Tschermak von Seysenegg (1900) Mendel's experiments were rediscovered independently by Dutch botanist and geneticist Hugo de Vries, German botanist and geneticist Carl Erich Correns, and Austrian botanist Erich Tschermak von Seysenegg, giving rise to the modern science of genetics.
Slide 14-

Frederick Griffith (1928) English bacteriologist Frederick Griffith conducted experiments suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetics information and that such transformation is heritable.
Slide 15-

Harriet B. Creighton and Barbara McClintock (1931) American scientists Harriet B. Creighton and Barbara McClintock published a paper demonstrating that new allelic combinations of linked genes are correlated with physically exchanged chromosome parts. Their findings suggested that chromosomes form the basis of genetics.
Slide 16-

Oswald Avery, Maclyn McCarty and Colin MacLeod (1944) Canadian-born American bacteriologist Oswald Avery and American biologists Maclyn McCarty and Colin MacLeod reported that the transforming substance— the genetics material of the cell—was DNA.
Slide 17-

Erwin Chargaf (1950) Austrian-born American biochemist Erwin Chargaf discovered that the components of DNA are paired in a 1:1 ratio. Thus, the amount of adenine (A) is always equal to the amount of thymine (T), and the amount of guanine (G) is always equal to the amount of cytosine (C).
Slide 18-

Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, and Raymond Gosling (1951) British scientists Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, and Raymond Gosling conducted X-ray diffraction studies that provided images of the helical structure of DNA fibers.
Slide 19-

James Watson and Francis Crick (1953) Using Chargaff's data and the X-ray images recorded by Franklin, Wilkins, and Gosling, British biophysicists James Watson and Francis Crick determined the molecular structure of DNA. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for their discovery.
Slide 20-

Werner Arber, Hamilton Othanel Smith and Daniel Nathans (1960s) Swiss microbiologist Werner Arber and American microbiologists Hamilton Othanel Smith and Daniel Nathans discovered restriction enzymes, which cleave DNA into fragments. The discovery, for which the three men shared the 1978 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, enabled scientists to manipulate genes by removing and inserting DNA sequences.
Slide 21-

Allan M. Maxam, Walter Gilbert and Frederick Sanger (1970s) American molecular biologists Allan M. Maxam and Walter Gilbert and English biochemist Frederick Sanger developed some of the first techniques for DNA sequencing. Gilbert and Sanger shared the 1980 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their work.
Slide 22-

Kary B. Mullis (1983) American biochemist Kary B. Mullis invented the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a simple technique that allows a specific stretch of DNA to be copied billions of ties in a few hours. Mullis received the 1993 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his invention.

The Scope of Genetics Genetics in Agriculture Genetics in Medicine Genetics in Evolution
Slide 24-

Genetics in Agriculture The contribution of genetics in the field of agriculture is remarkable in two ways, In the improvement of crop plants and In the improvement of domestic animals. Improvement of Crop Plants: Various principles and methods of genetics have been applied for the development of plants useful to mankind. Controlled hybridization and artificial selection have increased usefulness of many plants.
Slide 25-

Genetics in Agriculture Such applications include improvement in: Yield Quality Maturity duration Resistance to insects, diseases, salinity, drought, frost, lodging, etc. Adaptability
Slide 26-

Genetics in Agriculture Improvement of Domestic Animals: The usefulness of many domestic animals has been increased due to selective breeding. The milk production in cows and buffaloes, meat production in sheep’s, goats and pigs and egg production capacity in poultry have been significantly improved through the application of genetic principles. Moreover, many improved breeds of pet animals like horse, dogs, cats, pigeon and rabbits have been developed all over the world.
Slide 27-

Genetics in Medicine The advancements made in the field of genetics have been useful in the field of Medicine in two main ways as given below: Detection of Hereditary Diseases Now hereditary diseases can be detected at an early stage of life when it is possible to provide secondary cures in some cases. Reined techniques such as amniocentesis (fetus test) and fetoscopy have made such cures possible. Moreover, genetics diseases can be prevented by advising future parents with the help of family pedigrees.
Slide 28-

Genetics in Medicine Production of Antibiotics Special genetic strains of fungi and bacteria have been isolated to greatly increase the yields of antibiotics and other drugs. Besides these, genetics also helps in settling the disputed case of children through blood group studies.
Slide 29-

Genetics in Evolution Both natural and artificial selections have been responsible for evolution of various crop plants. However, selection is effective when sufficient amount of variability exists in the population in which selection has to be practiced. Three genetic methods have played significant role in the evolution of various crop plants by inducing additional genetic variability. Polyploidy Introgression Mutagenesis
Slide 30-

Application of Genetics Characterization and diagnosis of genetic disease Identification of pathogenic mutations Preserving biodiversity Identification and characterization of microbes Studying inheritance pattern
Slide 31-

Application of Genetics Creating advanced plant species Creating genetically modified organisms DNA fingerprinting Antibiotic resistance study and drug discovery Genetic/DNA medicines
Slide 32-

Application of Genetics Genetic engineering Crop improvement Animal and Plant Breeding program Infectious disease diagnosis Screening, prognosis, and diagnosis of cancer
