This lecture note discusses the principles
of genetics with application to the study of biological function at the level of
molecules, cells, and multicellular organisms, including humans. Topics covered
includes: structure and function of genes, chromosomes and genomes, biological
variation resulting from recombination, mutation, and selection, population
genetics, use of genetic methods to analyze protein function, gene regulation
and inherited disease.

The objective of this note is have a
greater awareness and appreciation of classical and molecular genetics with
emphasis on genetic material and its formation, transmission, function and
organization. Topics covered includes: historical perspective of genetics,
inheritance patterns and the chromosomal basis of heredity, sex chromosomes in
sex determination and sexual dimorphism, cells reproduce through DNA and nucleic
acids, DNA transcribes into RNA that ultimately translates into protein,
prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes, genetic basis of cancer and how it relates to
the cell cycle.
