The Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand, an island country in the South Pacific Ocean. Some Maori continue traditional cultural practices like performing haka war dances and getting ta moko tattoos, while others live modern, non-traditional lives. However, like other indigenous groups, many Maori struggle with issues such as poverty, alcoholism, and drug abuse.
The Asmat are an indigenous hunter-gatherer culture living in West Papua, Indonesia, which is located on a large island north of Australia. They are one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer cultures in the world. Some of their traditions include piercing the septum of the nose and painting their faces and bodies, both for ceremonial and wartime purposes.
Human heredity is determined by chromosomes, which are structures in the nucleus that contain genetic information passed down between generations. A karyotype maps out a person's entire set of chromosomes and can be used to identify genetic disorders. Traits are transmitted through dominant and recessive alleles, codominant alleles, sex-linked inheritance, and X chromosome inactivation. Some genetic disorders, like sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis, are caused by mutations in single genes, while others like Huntington's disease involve repetitive sequences in DNA. The Human Genome Project aimed to sequence and identify all human genes to better understand genetic disorders and advantages.
This document summarizes RNA and protein synthesis. It discusses:
1. The three types of RNA - messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA and their roles in protein synthesis.
2. How RNA is synthesized through transcription and the role of RNA polymerase.
3. How proteins are synthesized through translation using ribosomes and tRNA to carry amino acids, forming polypeptide chains.
4. Gene regulation including the lac operon in prokaryotes and transcription factors in eukaryotes that control gene expression.
RNA and protein synthesis are explained in four sections: I) RNA types and functions, II) Ribosomes and protein synthesis, III) Mutations, and IV) Gene regulation and expression. RNA has three main types - messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA - and is synthesized through transcription. Protein synthesis involves translation of mRNA into proteins using tRNA, rRNA, and ribosomes. Mutations can occur during transcription or translation. Gene expression and regulation control which genes are expressed.
This chapter discusses the discovery of DNA and its role as the genetic material. It covers Griffith's experiments showing bacterial transformation, the Hershey-Chase experiment demonstrating that DNA carries genetic information in viruses, and Chargaff's rules which helped Watson and Crick determine DNA's double-helix structure. The chapter also addresses DNA replication, including the roles of enzymes and telomeres, and how replication occurs differently in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
This document summarizes key concepts about DNA structure and function from Chapter 12 notes. It first covers identifying the substance of genes through experiments like Griffith's on bacterial transformation and the Hershey-Chase experiment on bacteriophages. DNA was shown to store, copy, and transmit genetic information. The second section describes DNA structure, including its nucleotide components, Chargaff's rules on base ratios, Franklin's X-ray images, and Watson and Crick's 1953 double helix model with anti-parallel strands bonded through hydrogen bonding and base pairing of A-T and G-C.
A normal human diploid zygote contains 46 chromosomes. A chart that traces the inheritance of a trait in a family is called a pedigree. An example of a trait that is determined by multiple alleles is cystic fibrosis. The difference between an autosome and a sex chromosome is that a sex chromosome determines an individual's sex, while autosomes do not.
There is a chapter 14 exam next week on Tuesday for which students should prepare by studying their notes, worksheets, and lab materials, as well as studying in groups. The document also discusses ABO blood groups, noting there are 3 alleles that determine 8 main blood types based on the presence or absence of A, B, and Rh antigens. Blood types are identified by these antigens, as antibodies will destroy blood cells with non-matching antigens in a transfusion.
Genetics can be used to study human inheritance by examining the molecular structure and function of genes, patterns of inheritance from parent to offspring, and variation in gene distribution within populations. As genes are found in all living things, genetics applies to the study of viruses, bacteria, plants, animals, and humans. Studying inheritance of traits has allowed farmers to improve crops and livestock through selective breeding over prehistoric times. Genetics reveals what makes each organism unique.

The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology describes how genetic information flows in living systems: DNA stores genetic information which is transcribed into RNA, and RNA is translated into proteins. Specifically, the document notes that the direction of flow is from DNA to RNA to protein, though retroviruses can go from RNA back to DNA. It also includes the genetic code and relevant terms like DNA, RNA, protein, and amino acids.
