SB2: Genetics: Growth and Hereditary-Organisms must be able to grow and reproduce to ensure species survival.
Hi everyone,
Today and Friday we will be taking an introductory tour of Genetics. Recall from our unit on Cells, that all oragnelles have different functions. In the Genetics tutorial, you will learn about how our genetic information (DNA) in the nucleus is copied by a message maker called RNA (transcription). RNA leaves the nucleus and goes to the Ribosomes to make the correct amino acid (translation) and make proteins. Finally, the amino acids are taken to the Golgi and carbohydrate, lipids and nucleic acids are attached to proteins and then and sent to the rest of the body.
Also, you will learn about heredity, that is, how DNA traits are passed down from a parent to the next generation (offspring). Finally, you will predict the outcomes of genetic crosses and examine what kind of outcomes or a type of genetic disorder may arise from DNA not being read correctly. Changes in the DNA are called mutation (wrong code).
Okay...let's get started! Have a great time exploring...If you need a second copy of the Intro to Genetics study guide....here it is.
