Ribozymes are RNA molecules that exhibit enzymatic activity by catalyzing chemical reactions, including RNA splicing and cleavage, without the assistance of proteins. There are several types of ribozymes that differ based on their structure and catalytic mechanism, including hammerhead ribozymes, hairpin ribozymes, hepatitis delta virus ribozymes, and the ribosome - a large and complex ribozyme responsible for protein synthesis. Ribozymes have potential clinical applications as they can be designed to selectively cleave target RNA sequences, offering possibilities for developing therapies for genetic diseases and viral infections like HIV.
Whole genome sequencing of arabidopsis thalianaBhavya Sree
This document summarizes the genome sequencing of Arabidopsis thaliana. It discusses that genome sequencing approaches began being discussed in 1984 and the Human Genome Project officially began in 1990. The Arabidopsis genome project was initiated in 1990 and was completed in 2000, sequencing approximately 115.4 Mb and predicting 25,498 genes. The outcomes of the sequencing project included characterization of coding regions, comparative analysis between accessions and other plant genera, and integration of the three plant genomes.
Molecular Evolution and Phylogenetics (2009)Hernán Dopazo
This document provides an introduction to molecular evolution and phylogenetics. It discusses the objectives of constructing phylogenetic trees, including understanding the ancestral-descendant relationships between taxa. Several key developments in the field are outlined, such as the introduction of molecular data in the 1960s, and early methods like distance matrix approaches. The document also gives examples of how phylogenetic trees are applied across biology, for instance in fields like evolutionary genetics, population genetics, and molecular clock analysis. Finally, it discusses uses of phylogenetics in bioinformatics, including phylogenomics and predicting gene function.
The development of the tetrapod limb involves specification of the limb field and induction of the early limb bud through FGF10 signaling. The proximal-distal axis is established by the AER, which secretes FGF8 to maintain the progress zone. The anterior-posterior axis is specified by SHH expression in the ZPA. The dorsal-ventral axis forms through Wnt7a expression on the dorsal side. Cell death regulated by BMPs then separates the digits and forms joints.
Penetrance and expressivity refer to how likely and how strongly, respectively, a genetic trait is expressed in individuals. Penetrance is the proportion of individuals with a genotype who exhibit the associated phenotype, ranging from complete (100%) to incomplete. Expressivity refers to how strongly or uniformly a phenotype is manifested across an individual's body. A phenocopy is an environmentally induced phenotype that resembles a genetically determined trait but is not inherited. Diabetes has an incompletely penetrant genetic basis but treating it with insulin produces a phenocopy of the non-diabetic phenotype.
This document discusses genetic processes that can change gene frequencies in populations. There are two main types:
1. Systematic processes like migration, mutation, and selection that tend to change gene frequencies predictably in amount and direction. They act in both large and small populations.
2. Dispersive processes that arise in small populations from random sampling effects. They are predictable in amount but not direction and only act in small populations. Random genetic drift is a main dispersive process.
Gene families are sets of similar genes formed by duplication of an original gene. A gene cluster is a subgroup of a gene family where the genes are located near each other on a chromosome. Examples discussed include haemoglobin gene clusters, histone gene clusters, and ribosomal RNA gene clusters. Haemoglobin genes are expressed at different developmental stages. Myoglobin is related to haemoglobin and encodes oxygen transport in muscle. Histone genes encode structural proteins that package DNA into nucleosomes. Ribosomal RNA genes are present in high copy numbers and encode components of ribosomes.
Maternal effects are the influences of a mothers genotype on the phenotype of her offspring. It results from the asymmetric contribution of the female parent to the development of zygotes.
In terms of chromosomal genes, both male and female parents contribute equally to the zygote. The female parent contributes to the zygotes initial cytoplasm and organelles. Sperm rarely contribute anything other than chromosomes. Therefore zygotic development begins within a maternal medium and hence the maternal cytoplasm directly affects zygotic development.
Ribozymes are RNA molecules that exhibit enzymatic activity by catalyzing chemical reactions, including RNA splicing and cleavage, without the assistance of proteins. There are several types of ribozymes that differ based on their structure and catalytic mechanism, including hammerhead ribozymes, hairpin ribozymes, hepatitis delta virus ribozymes, and the ribosome - a large and complex ribozyme responsible for protein synthesis.

Molecular marker and its application to genome mapping and molecular breedingFOODCROPS
Molecular markers are genetic elements that can be used to follow chromosomes or chromosomal segments during genetic analysis. Molecular markers include molecular techniques like single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and simple sequence repeats (SSRs). SSRs, also known as microsatellites, are tandem repeats of short DNA motifs that are highly polymorphic due to replication slippage errors. SNPs are single base pair changes that are the most common type of genetic variation. Both SNPs and SSRs are useful molecular markers that can be detected through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and are important tools for genome mapping and molecular breeding applications.
Cross- pollinated crops are highly heterozygous due to the free intermating among their plants. They are often referred to as random mating populations because each individual of the population has equal opportunity of mating with any other individual of that population. Such a population is also known as Mendelian population or panmictic population. A population, in this case, consists of all such individuals that share the same gene pool, i.e., have an opportunity to intermate with each other and contribute to the next generation of the population. To understand the genetic make - up of such populations a sophisticated field of study, population genetics, has been developed. The Hardy Weinberg law states that in a large random mating population gene and genotype frequency remain constant generation after generation unless there is selection, mutation, migration or random drift. This is the fundamental law of population genetics and provides the basis for studying Mendelian populations. The law is proposed independently by G. H. Hardy (a mathematician) and W. Weinberg (a physician).
This document presents information about penetrance and expressivity for Sir Faisal Iqbal. It defines penetrance as the percentage of individuals that show expression of a mutant genotype. Expressivity reflects the range of expression of the mutant genotype. An example is given of the eyeless gene in flies, which can result in normal eyes to complete absence of eyes. Penetrance and expressivity are used to study the degree of expression of a trait quantitatively. Phenotypic mutations can occur due to reasons other than genotype, such as genetic background and environmental factors.
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the precursors of gametes that are unipotent and differentiate into sperm and oocytes. PGCs originate in the endodermal epithelium of the yolk sac in human embryos and migrate to the developing gonads guided by chemical signals. They are specified through a transcription factor network including BMP4 and PRDM14 that allows them to regain pluripotency. In the developing gonads, the sex chromosomes determine if the gonad develops as a testis or ovary, influencing if the PGCs become oocytes or gonocytes that later develop into sperm.
Regulation of gene expression in eukaryotesSuchittaU
This document summarizes gene regulation in eukaryotes. It discusses how gene expression is regulated at multiple levels, including transcription, RNA processing, and intracellular/intercellular signaling. Key points include: (1) Gene expression is controlled by transcription factors binding to promoter and enhancer regions; (2) Eukaryotic gene expression involves RNA splicing and alternative splicing of exons; and (3) The Britten-Davidson model proposes that sensor genes control integrator genes which regulate sets of producer genes in response to signals.
This document discusses gene interactions and their mechanisms. It describes how genes interact with each other and the environment to influence phenotypes. The main types of gene interactions are allelic, including complete dominance, incomplete dominance and co-dominance, and non-allelic, such as additive, duplicate, dominant suppression, dominant and recessive epistasis. Examples are provided for each type of interaction.
The neutral theory of evolution proposes that most genetic mutations are selectively neutral or nearly neutral. Under this theory, genetic drift rather than natural selection is the primary determinant of whether a mutation becomes fixed in a population or lost. The neutral theory makes specific, testable predictions about levels of genetic polymorphism within species and rates of genetic divergence between species. Motoo Kimura developed the neutral theory in the 1950s-60s as an alternative to the prevailing view that natural selection determined the fate of most mutations.

Zoological nomenclature establishes scientific names for animal taxa according to a set of international rules to ensure names are unique, universal, and stable, with each taxon having a designated type specimen to serve as the objective standard for applying its name. The principle of priority dictates that the oldest available name for a taxon is the valid name, while the principle of the first reviser resolves situations where two names have the same date. Names apply to both living and extinct animals according to these principles and rules.
Genomics is being widely applied in animal agriculture. It allows identification of genes associated with traits like disease resistance and production to select superior breeding animals. Techniques include cloning, genetic engineering of transgenic animals, and gene therapy. Genomic selection is revolutionizing livestock breeding by enabling early selection of breeding stock and improving genetic gains.
This document provides information about triple test cross analysis, which involves crossing randomly selected F2 plants with both parent plants (P1 and P2) and their F1 hybrid. It requires four crop seasons. Triple test cross analysis provides estimates of additive and dominance effects and can detect the presence of epistasis. It has advantages like reliable information about epistasis and independent estimates of additive and dominance variances. However, it requires more time than other analyses and choice of contrasting parent lines can be difficult.
The study of the complete set of RNAs (transcriptome) encoded by the genome of a specific cell or organism at a specific time or under a specific set of conditions is called Transcriptomics.
Transcriptomics aims:
I. To catalogue all species of transcripts, including mRNAs, noncoding RNAs and small RNAs.
II. To determine the transcriptional structure of genes, in terms of their start sites, 5′ and 3′ ends, splicing patterns and other post-transcriptional modifications.
III. To quantify the changing expression levels of each transcript during development and under different conditions.

This seminar underpins the significance and need of formulating pan-genome oriented crop improvement strategies over single reference genome based studies. Pangenome graphs uncovers large repository of genetic variation which could we useful for planning and executing strategic crop improvement programmed
This document discusses quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis and mapping. It begins with a brief history of genetics and quantitative traits. QTL analysis uses phenotypic and genotypic data to link complex trait variation to genetics. There are several approaches for QTL analysis, including single marker analysis, interval mapping, and association mapping. Interval mapping uses flanking markers and likelihood estimates to more precisely map QTL locations compared to single marker analysis. Composite interval mapping further refines this by using additional markers as cofactors. The accuracy of QTL mapping is influenced by genetic and environmental factors as well as population size and experimental error. QTLs can be confirmed through multiple methods such as stability across environments or using near-isogenic lines.
Association mapping, GWAS, Mapping, natural population mappingMahesh Biradar
This document discusses association mapping for crop improvement. It explains that association mapping exploits historical recombination events in populations to map quantitative trait loci with greater precision than family-based linkage analysis. Association mapping can be applied to diverse populations and detect more alleles than bi-parental mapping. Genome-wide association studies allow for high-resolution mapping of traits down to the sequence level by leveraging linkage disequilibrium. Statistical methods must account for population structure and kinship to avoid false positives in association analyses.
Molecular marker technology in studies on plant genetic diversityChanakya P
A molecular marker is a molecule contained within a sample taken from an organism (biological markers) or other matter. It can be used to reveal certain characteristics about the respective source. DNA, for example, is a molecular marker containing information about genetic disorders, genealogy and the evolutionary history of life. Specific regions of the DNA (genetic markers) are used to diagnose the autosomal recessive genetic disorder cystic fibrosis, taxonomic affinity (phylogenetics) and identity (DNA Barcoding). Further, life forms are known to shed unique chemicals, including DNA, into the environment as evidence of their presence in a particular location.Other biological markers, like proteins, are used in diagnostic tests for complex neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. Non-biological molecular markers are also used, for example, in environmental studies.
Gene regulation in eukaryotes in a nutshell covering all the important stages of gene regulation in eukaryotes at transcriptional level, translation level and post-translational level.
Gene interactions play an important role in inheritance and can produce phenotypes that do not follow typical Mendelian ratios. There are two main types of gene interactions - allelic and non-allelic. Allelic interactions occur between alleles of the same gene and can be complete dominance, incomplete dominance, or co-dominance. Non-allelic interactions occur between genes and can be simple interactions like those controlling comb patterns in chickens, or more complex interactions like epistasis where one gene suppresses the expression of another. Understanding gene interactions is crucial for explaining exceptions to Mendelian inheritance.

This PowerPoint presentation intends to explore the thought and development of genetics after G.J.Mendel along with the factor hypothesis in this new line of research during the contemporary.
This document discusses principles of inheritance and variation. It begins by defining key terms like genetics, heredity, and variation. It then discusses Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plants in the 1800s, which formed the basis of modern genetics. Mendel discovered the laws of inheritance, including dominance, segregation, and independent assortment. The document also covers variations, including continuous vs discontinuous and somatic vs germinal variations. It discusses inheritance of multiple genes, including incomplete dominance, codominance, and polygenic inheritance. Overall, the document provides a comprehensive overview of classical genetics concepts and terminology.
This document discusses different types of gene interactions:
1. Allelic interactions involve alleles of the same gene and can result in incomplete dominance or co-dominance.
2. Non-allelic interactions involve two or more genes affecting the same trait. Examples include epistasis where one gene masks the expression of another, and complementary genes where both are required for expression.
3. Gene interactions can modify Mendelian ratios and result in traits governed by multiple genes interacting in complex ways. The document provides examples for many gene interaction principles.
Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. Though heredity had been observed for millennia, Gregor Mendel, Moravian scientist and Augustinian friar working in the 19th century in Brno, was the first to study genetics scientifically. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring over time. He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit traits by way of discrete "units of inheritance". This term, still used today, is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a gene.
Trait inheritance and molecular inheritance mechanisms of genes are still primary principles of genetics in the 21st century, but modern genetics has expanded beyond inheritance to studying the function and behavior of genes. Gene structure and function, variation, and distribution are studied within the context of the cell, the organism (e.g. dominance), and within the context of a population. In science and especially in mathematical studies, a variational principle is one that enables a problem to be solved using calculus of variations, which concerns finding functions that optimize the values of quantities that depend on those functions.
This document provides an overview of genetics and Mendelian inheritance. It discusses how Mendel conducted experiments on pea plants to develop the principles of heredity, including his laws of inheritance. Mendel showed that traits are inherited as discrete units (genes) that assort independently, with one trait (dominant) masking the expression of another (recessive) trait. His work demonstrated monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, and laid the foundations for modern genetics.
Principles of Inheritance, Class 12 CBSEblessiemary
This document provides information about principles of inheritance and variation in genetics. It discusses key topics including:
- Genetics deals with inheritance and variation from parents to offspring. Variation results in offspring differing from parents.
- Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants in the 1800s and established the principles of heredity, including dominance, segregation, independent assortment. He demonstrated genes are passed from parents to offspring in predictable ratios.
- Chromosomal theory of inheritance later explained that genes are located on chromosomes and segregate during gamete formation according to Mendel's laws. The work of Morgan, Sutton, and Boveri supported this theory through experimentation.
- Gregor Mendel is known as the father of genetics for his work studying inheritance in pea plants. He discovered that traits are inherited through discrete factors (now known as genes) located on chromosomes, and these factors segregate and assort independently during gamete formation and reproduction.
- Mendel identified dominant and recessive alleles and established that organisms have two copies of each gene (one from each parent). He showed that hybridization and self-pollination can be used to study inheritance patterns.
- Mendel's laws of inheritance include the law of dominance, the law of segregation, and the law of independent assortment. Deviations from simple Mendelian patterns can occur through gene interactions like incomplete
Modification of Normal Mendelian ratios with Lethal gene effcets and EpistasisAashish Patel
This document discusses Mendelian genetics and how ratios from monohybrid and dihybrid crosses can be modified. It explains different types of gene interactions including incomplete dominance, codominance, lethal genes, and epistasis. Epistasis refers to interaction between alleles at different loci that modifies phenotypic ratios. Several examples are given to illustrate different types of epistatic interactions like recessive epistasis, dominant epistasis, and duplicate gene interactions. The document also provides tables comparing standard Mendelian ratios to ratios resulting from these various genetic modifications.
Gene action and modification of mendelianBruno Mmassy
This document discusses several types of gene action and inheritance patterns, including complete dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, overdominance, gene interactions, epistasis, pleiotropy, sex-linked genes, penetrance, and essential genes. It provides examples for each type, such as ABO blood groups showing codominance and coat color in mice demonstrating epistasis.
Biology 103 Laboratory Exercise – Genetic Problems
Introduction
Although the science of genetics has become a highly sophisticated discipline dealing
with the interactions of hereditary factors at the molecular level, it has its roots in the
basic laws of heredity initially discovered and presented by Gregor Mendel more than
one hundred years ago. Mendel's success in discovering these laws was due largely to his
application of the simple rules of mathematical probability - the laws of chance - to his
observations concerning the inheritance of certain characteristics in the garden pea plant.
Reginald Punnett and the Punnett Square
The Punnett square is a diagram used by biologists to determine genotypic probability
within the offspring from a particular genetic cross. The Punnett square shows every
possible genotypic combination of maternal alleles with the paternal alleles for a genetic
cross. Punnett squares only give probabilities for genotypes, not phenotypes. The square
diagram was designed by the British geneticist, Reginald Punnett (1865-1967) and first
presented to the science community in 1905. Punnett’s Mendelism (1905) is considered
the first popular science book to introduce genetics to the public.

The first step in solving a genetic problem is to establish the genetic symbols you will use
in your problem solution. Stay consistent by using these same symbols throughout the
problem solving process.
Represent dominant and recessive alleles (different forms of a gene) using traditional
genetic symbols. Dominant alleles should be represented with the capital version of an
alphabetic letter while using the lower case version to show recessiveness. For example:
B = black color, b = white color.
Each individual gene or trait is diploid (2n) in nature and therefore, must be represented
with two alleles. Continuing with the alleles mentioned previously, an individual may
have the genetic makeup BB, Bb, or bb when using those alleles.
Remember that gametes (sperm and egg) are haploid (n) and can only provide one allele
per trait. For example: B or b
An individual’s genotype contains the possible gametes that can be expected to be
produced by that individual. Much of genetics revolves around the probability of the
makeup of gametes. If the individual is homozygous, all of the gametes produced will
possess the same kind of allele. For example, an individual with the genotype BB would
be expected to produce only B gametes and individuals with genotype bb would produce
only b gametes.
If the individual is heterozygous, that is the individual’s genotype contains one dominant
allele and one recessive allele (Bb), the gametes produced will possess one or the other of
the two forms of the gene – B or b. ...
1. Morgan's experiments with Drosophila showed that genes located close together on the same chromosome (linked genes) tend to be inherited together more often than expected by Mendel's law of independent assortment.
2. Crossing over during meiosis can lead to new combinations of linked genes, with the frequency of crossing over determining how far apart genes are on the genetic map.
3. Sturtevant used recombination frequencies between traits to construct the first genetic map, with map units called centimorgans representing a 1% chance of crossing over.
The document discusses several examples of gene interactions:
1) In peppers, genes for red pigment (R) and chlorophyll decomposition (C) interact to produce red, brown, yellow, or green peppers depending on the genotype.
2) In chickens, genes for comb shape (R, r and P, p) interact to determine walnut, rose, pea, or single comb types.
3) Gene interactions can produce novel phenotypes that are not predictable from single-gene effects alone, as seen in these examples where specific combinations of alleles result in unique characteristics.
General Biology 2 W3L3 Inheritance and Variations.pptJeffrey Alemania
This document provides an overview of genetics and inheritance. It introduces key genetic concepts such as alleles, genotypes, phenotypes, homozygous and heterozygous. It summarizes Mendel's three laws of inheritance: dominance, segregation and independent assortment. It explains how to use genetic crosses, including homozygous crosses that result in heterozygous offspring, and heterozygous crosses that result in a 3:1 ratio. It also describes how to use a test cross to determine if an organism with a dominant trait is homozygous or heterozygous. Non-Mendelian inheritance patterns are briefly mentioned.
This document provides an overview of theoretical genetics concepts including:
1) It defines key genetics terms and concepts discovered by Gregor Mendel through his pea plant experiments, including genes, alleles, dominance, segregation, and Punnett squares.
2) It explains Mendel's principles of inheritance including segregation and independent assortment of alleles and how this determines genotype and phenotype probabilities.
3) It discusses extensions of Mendelian genetics including co-dominance, multiple alleles, genetic linkage, sex-linkage, and examples like blood types and hemophilia.
1) Linkage refers to the tendency of genes located near each other on the same chromosome to be inherited together during meiosis. It was first reported by Bateson and Punnett in 1906 while studying traits in sweet peas.
2) There are different types of linkage based on factors like crossing over, genes involved, and chromosomes. Complete linkage occurs when genes are so close there is no crossing over, while incomplete linkage allows some crossing over. Coupling refers to dominant alleles being inherited together and recessive together.
3) Mapping gene locations based on linkage analysis helped scientists like Morgan produce the first chromosome maps and better understand inheritance patterns that violate Mendel's law of independent assortment. Linkage is an exception that
Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. Females need two X chromosomes because one of the two X chromosomes in each cell of a female is randomly inactivated very early in development. This process, called X-inactivation or lyonization, ensures that females, like males, have only one active X chromosome per cell. It balances gene expression between males and females.

This document provides information about epidermal tissues, trichomes, and stomata. It discusses that the epidermis forms the outer protective layer of leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits. It contains parenchyma cells and can form hair-like unicellular or multicellular trichomes that protect against water loss and other factors. The epidermis also contains numerous minute openings called stomata that allow for gas exchange between internal tissues and the atmosphere. Stomata come in different types defined by the number and arrangement of neighboring cells. Their main functions are transpiration and gas exchange to support respiration and photosynthesis.

This document provides a taxonomy and description of plants in the Liliaceae family. It discusses the classification, distribution, botanical description, morphology, floral morphology and economic importance. Key points include that Liliaceae includes about 250 genera and 3700 species with a cosmopolitan distribution. Most are perennial herbs but some are shrubs, trees or climbers. Economically important plants include onions, garlic, lilies and medicinal plants like Aloe vera.
This document discusses chromosomes and their structure and function. It begins with the historical discovery of chromosomes in 1875 and defines them as stainable nuclear components that duplicate and are passed from parents to offspring. It describes the main types of chromosomes, including autosomes and sex chromosomes. It details the structure of chromosomes and their compaction into nucleosomes and higher order packaging. Key parts like the centromere and kinetochores are explained. The functions of chromosomes in heredity, growth, and determining sex are summarized. Special giant chromosome types like polytene and lampbrush chromosomes found in insect salivary glands and amphibian oocytes respectively are also outlined.
Chromosomal aberrations refer to disruptions in the normal chromosomal content of a cell and are major causes of genetic conditions in humans. There are two main types of chromosomal aberrations: numerical abnormalities which involve an atypical number of chromosomes, and structural abnormalities which alter the structure of chromosomes. Examples of numerical abnormalities include aneuploidy, such as trisomy which is the presence of three copies of a chromosome instead of the normal two copies. Structural abnormalities include deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations which involve portions of chromosomes being removed, duplicated, inverted, or transferred between chromosomes. Common genetic disorders associated with chromosomal aberrations include Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome

INTERACTIONS
• Two types of genetic interactions: Intra-allelic and inter-allelic or non-
allelic.
• Mendelian genetics is unable to explain all kinds of inheritance for
which the phenotypic ratios in some cases are different from
Mendelian ratios. An allele may be partially or equally dominant to
the other or due to existence of more than two alleles or there may
be present, lethal alleles.These kinds of genetic interactions between
the alleles of a single gene are referred to as allelic or intra- allelic
interactions.
• Non-allelic or inter-allelic interactions occur where the development
of single character is due to two or more genes affecting the
expression of each other in various ways.Thus, the expression of
gene is not independent of each other and dependent on the
presence or absence of other gene or genes;These kinds of
deviations from Mendelian one gene-one trait concept is known as
Interaction of Genes.
3. NON-ALLELIC NON-EPISTATIC GENETIC INTERACTIONS:
EXAMPLE- COMB SHAPE IN FOWLS
• The different varieties of chickens possess distinctive combs. For instance, Wyandottes have
a "rose" comb, Brahmas have a "pea" comb, and Leghorns have a "single" comb. In this case,
two non-allelic gene pairs affect the same character.
• The dominant allele of each of the two factors produces separate phenotypes when they are
alone. When both the dominant alleles are present together, they produce a distinct new
phenotype. The absence of both the dominant alleles gives rise to yet another phenotype.
• Two genes, R and P along with their recessive alleles determine the comb shapes. R gene
gives rise to rose comb and P gene gives rise to pea comb; both are dominant over single
comb; the presence of both the dominant genes results in walnut comb.
