- DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), hereditary material in almost all organisms
- Notable exception: hereditary material in retroviruses is RNA
- Chromosomes - long threadlike structure composed of chromatin
- Carry genetic information in the form of genes
- Contain hundreds or even thousands of genes at a locus
- Locus - specific location on a chromosome containing a gene
- Genes units of hereditary information made of DNA
- Most genes contain information to synthesize specific proteins
Transmission Genetics
- Examines how traits are transferred from parent to offspring
- Mendel provided the conceptual framework for this field
- He showed that genetic determinants pass from parent to offspring as discrete units
Molecular Genetics
- Examines genes
- Their features, organization, and function
- As well as mutant genes with abnormal function
- Study model organisms
- Model organisms are species that have been widely studied
- Usually, they have particular experimental advantages
- Easy to breed, breed quickly, easy to maintain, etc.
Population Genetics
- Examines the genetic composition of populations (i.e., the distribution and changes of allele frequency in a population)
- Allele frequency is subject to four main evolutionary processes
- Natural selection
- Gene flow (migration)
- Migration moves alleles between populations
- Mutation
- Genetic drift
- Changes in allele frequencies due to random sampling from the population
- 1866 Mendel published his ideas on inheritance, equal segregation, and independent assortment
- Significance of his work was not recognized for over 30 years
- 1869 DNA (initially called nuclein) is identified by Friedrich Miescher
- Significance of DNA was not realized for over 70 years
- 1900 Mendels work is rediscovered
- 1902 Disease is first related with genetic causes, chromosome theory of inheritance proposed by Sutton
- Theory identified chromosomes as carriers of genetic material
- 1944 DNA is identified as the hereditary material
- Skepticism remained for years to follow
- 1953 Watson and Crick figured out that DNA is in the shape of a double helix
- Determination of the structure of DNA led to rapid developments in molecular genetics
- 1970s Gene cloning and DNA sequencing methods developed
- 1980s DNA marker analysis methods, DNA fingerprinting methods, and PCR is developed
- 1990s Whole genome sequencing methods developed leading to Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics
- Genomics study of all genes in a genome
- Proteomics study of all proteins coded by a genome
- Bioinformatics science of collecting and analyzing complex biological data
- 2003 Human Genome Project is completed after being initiated in 1990
Charles Darwin: 
- Charles Darwin stated in his book, On the Origin of Species, that a mechanism of evolutionary change was natural selection
- Darwin came up with the idea of natural selection based on the following observations:
- Individuals of a population vary in inheritable traits
- Populations can potentially produce more offspring than the environment can support
- Individuals best adapted to their environment reproduce more often
