This course is for those undergraduate students who are willing to command the concepts of Genetics. In this course, you will learn about the most important concepts of genetics.

a. The Definition of genetics and the Historical Perspective of Genetics

b. The classical experiments proving DNA as the genetic material; Thomas Hunt Morgan experiments with Drosophila melanogaster and Sex Linkage, Griffith's experiment; the conversion of a non-pathogenic pneumococcal bacteria to a virulent strain, The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment; DNA is the key component of Griffith's experiment, The Hershey-Chase experiments; also called the Waring Blender experiment, through which Hershey and Chase showed that phages only injected their DNA into host bacteria, and that the DNA served as the replicating genetic element of phages.

c. The great Mendel and his Law of Segregation and Law of Independent Assortment

d. The concept of dominant, recessive, incomplete dominance and co-dominance

e. The structure of DNA/RNA and the differences, Why Thymine is present in DNA and Uracil in RNA

f. Punnett Squares and the Fork line Method

g. Multiple Alleles; the ABO Blood Types, Blood Transfusions and Medical Conditions

h. Sex Linked Inheritance; X-linked Dominant and X linked Recessive inheritance

i. Mutations and Its Types; Gene Mutations, Chromosomal Mutations, Silent Mutations, Missense Mutations, Non-sense mutations
