The document discusses basic principles of genetics including dominant, recessive, and co-dominant alleles and how they are expressed in offspring. It provides an overview of the goals of the Human Genome Project including identifying all human genes, determining DNA sequences, making the data publicly available, and addressing ethical issues. Genetic disorders and arguments for and against cloning endangered species are also mentioned.

2. Basic Principles of Genetics A dominant allele is one whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present. A recessive allele, on the other hand, is masked, or covered up, whenever the dominant allele is present. In co dominance, the alleles are neither dominant nor recessive. As a result, neither allele is masked in the offspring Explain how the alleles of two parents combine to express traits in offspring? Geneticist use Punnett squares to show all the possible outcomes of a genetic cross and to determine the probability of a particular outcome

3. Human Genome Project Begun formally in 1990. Project goals were to identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, store this information in databases, improve tools for data analysis, transfer related technologies to the private sector, and address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project.
