Genetics Preview

Mr. Anderson previews the genetics unit, covering DNA structure, the central dogma, cell division, Mendelian and advanced genetics, and gene regulation. The unit begins with an overview of DNA and its role in genetics, followed by the processes of transcription and translation. The cell cycle is explained through mitosis and meiosis, highlighting how genetic information is passed on. Mendelian genetics introduces Gregor Mendel's work, while advanced genetics explores gene linkage and non-Mendelian inheritance. The unit concludes with gene regulation, discussing how genes are activated or deactivated in cells.
