UNIT+5-+GENETICS

Genetics Created by: Mike Donovan, Dom Fazio, and Anthony Barilla

Genetics is the study of heredity, or how organisms inherit traits. Throughout this unit, we learned about many different facets of genetics. From the experiments of Mendal to probability and Punnett Squares, and from the steps of meiosis to pedigrees, genetics is a vast unit full of information about who we are and how we came to be the people we are today. Areas we Sutdied were:

- Inheritence: Dominance, Genes, Mendel, Probability, Punnett Squares, and Segregation - Human Genetics: Karyotyping, Meiosis 1 and 2, Methods of Inheritence, and Pedigreesb

Objectives: Understand traits and genes and how they are passed down through generations. Determining the possible outcome of an offspring and how they will look based on parents' appearences, and understanding the steps taken within our cells to produce reproductive cells.
