Genetics
  1. The study of heredity and variation of inherited characteristics
    1. Gene
      1. Unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristics of the offspring
    2. DNA
      1. Molecule of life
        1. Shape
          1. DNA is made up of two strands that are bonded together in a double helix shape
            1. Each strand of DNA consist of nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of a sugar, a phosphate and a nitrogenous base.
              1. Sugar and phosphate form backbone of the two strands.
                1. Nitrogenous base pairing
                  1. Guanine-Cytosine
                    1. Adenine-Thymine
            2. Replication
              1. 1. DNA is replicated during Interphase, the double helix unwinds into two seperate strands
                1. 2. After unwinding a complimentary strand is created for each split strand
                  1. 3. Final step is the bonding of the bases. Then two new daughter DNA molecules are formed.
            3. Chromosomes
              1. a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes
                1. Most species that reproduce sexually have 23 chromosomes from their mother and 23 chromosomes from their father
                  1. Sex chromosomes are the chromosomes in the egg and sperm. (23 each)
                    1. All other chromosomes are autosomes
                    2. Sexual reproduction
                      1. Production of new living organisms by combining genetic information from two individuals of different sexes
