Information Technology and Genetic Research: The Eighth White House Millennium Evening (1999)
thefilmarchive.org October 12, 1999 Genetics (from Ancient Greek gamma; epsilon; nu; epsilon; tau; iota; kappa; #972; sigmaf; genetikos, "genitive" and that from gamma; #941; nu; epsilon; sigma; iota; sigmaf; genesis, "origin"), a discipline of biology, is the science of genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. Genetics deals with the molecular structure and function of genes, gene behavior in context of a cell or organism (eg dominance and epigenetics), patterns of inheritance from parent to offspring, and gene distribution, variation and change in populations,such as through Genome-Wide Association Studies. Given that genes are universal to living organisms, genetics can be applied to the study of all living systems, from viruses and bacteria, through plants and domestic animals, to humans (as in medical genetics). The fact that living things inherit traits from their parents has been used since prehistoric times to improve crop plants and animals through selective breeding. However, the modern science of genetics, which seeks to understand the process of inheritance, only began with the work of Gregor Mendel in the mid-19th century. Although he did not know the physical basis for heredity, Mendel observed that organisms inherit traits via discrete units of inheritance, which are now called genes. Genes correspond to regions within DNA, a molecule composed of a chain of four different types of nucleotides mdash;the sequence of these nucleotides is the genetic information organisms inherit. DNA naturally occurs in a double stranded form, with nucleotides ...From:thefilmarchivedViews:3215 4ratingsTime:02:03:37More inEducation
