Genetics is the study of genes and heredity in living organisms. It is a field of science that seeks to understand how traits are passed from parents to offspring. Genetics plays a crucial role in fields like medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology by helping us understand diseases and traits as well as develop new crop varieties and medical treatments.

Chromosomal theory of inheritance
This theory proposes that hereditary traits are transmitted from one generation to the next through chromosomes and gametes. Gametes contain only one set of chromosomes and fuse during fertilization to restore the paired chromosome condition. Chromosomes are replicated and passed from parents to offspring, behaving in accordance with Mendel's laws of inheritance and explaining the mechanism of inheritance. Sex is determined by sex chromosomes, which can be of the XX-XY, ZZ-ZW, or XX-XO types.
History of Genetics Genetics Scope and applications of genetics
Genetics is the study of heredity and variation in living organisms. The key concepts are that genes contain DNA sequences that encode specific proteins, and genes are passed from parents to offspring. There are two main areas of genetics - classical genetics which studies inheritance patterns and molecular genetics which examines the structure and function of genes. Some important applications of genetics include improving agriculture, treating genetic diseases, conservation efforts, and genetic engineering. The history of genetics began with Mendel's experiments in the 1860s, was rediscovered in 1900, and has since involved many important discoveries that helped elucidate DNA structure and genetic mechanisms.
Linkage
- Linkage refers to the tendency of genes located near each other on the same chromosome to be inherited together during meiosis. This is because genes located close together on a chromosome move together to the same pole during cell division.
- There are different types of linkage based on whether crossing over occurs, the genes involved, and the chromosomes. Linkage can be complete or incomplete depending on the presence or absence of crossing over. It can involve dominant or recessive alleles.
- Linkage is detected through test crosses, where deviations from expected Mendelian ratios indicate genes are linked. The strength of linkage depends on distance between genes, with closer genes showing stronger linkage.
Epistasis and its different types
Epistasis refers to the phenomenon where the effect of one gene is dependent on the presence of other genes. There are different types of epistatic interactions: dominant epistasis occurs when a dominant allele of one gene masks the effect of alleles at another gene locus; recessive epistasis occurs when a recessive allele of one gene hides the effects of alleles at another locus; and duplicate recessive genes, or complementary genes, produce the same phenotype only when both genes have homozygous recessive alleles. Epistasis can modify expected Mendelian ratios from crosses.
Cytotaxonomy
This document discusses how cytology, the study of cells, is used in taxonomic studies of plants. Chromosome number, morphology, and behavior during meiosis provide clues about genetic relationships. Species are distinguished based on consistent chromosome numbers. Examples show how different species and genera of plants have been separated or reclassified based on differences in their chromosome numbers, sizes, shapes, and behavior during cell division. Aneuploid plants with extra or missing chromosomes are also discussed.
Hardy weinberg law
It is the fundamental law of population genetics and provides the basis for studying Mendelian populations ( Mendelian population: A group of sexually inbreeding organisms living within a circumscribed area). It describes populations that are not evolving.
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
This document discusses Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which describes the expected genotype and allele frequencies in a population that is not evolving. It will be in equilibrium if 5 assumptions are met: large population size, no migration, negligible mutations, random mating, no natural selection. The model consists of two equations to calculate expected allele and genotype frequencies. Observed frequencies in a sample California population at the EST locus match the expected frequencies, indicating the population is in equilibrium at this locus and not evolving. However, the assumptions are often violated in real populations.
Chromosome theory of inheritance
The chromosome theory of inheritance states that chromosomes contain genes and are responsible for Mendel's principles of segregation and independent assortment during meiosis. Thomas Hunt Morgan's experiments with fruit flies led to the discovery of sex linkage, where genes on the X chromosome show different inheritance patterns between males and females. Nettie Stevens' analysis of beetle karyotypes revealed that females have two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y chromosome, establishing the sex chromosome system. Morgan then used this information to propose X-linked inheritance for white eye color in fruit flies, providing support for the chromosome theory of inheritance.

Lethal alleles
Lethal alleles are genes that cause death or reduced viability. Some cause death early in development while others act later. Mutation of essential genes creates lethal alleles. They can be dominant or recessive. Recessive lethals only kill in the homozygous state, while dominant lethals kill in both homo- and heterozygotes. Lethal alleles were first discovered by Cuénot in mice and provided insight into Mendelian inheritance. Different types include recessive, dominant, conditional, sex-linked, and synthetic lethals. Inbreeding increases homozygosity while outbreeding increases heterozygosity and hybrid vigor. Both provide variation for natural selection to act upon.
Chromosome or gene mapping &Linkage analysis
This document discusses chromosome and gene mapping techniques. It describes how gene mapping is used to identify the location of genes and distances between genes on chromosomes. Two main types of maps are discussed - genetic maps based on linkage and physical maps using actual distances in base pairs. Molecular markers are described as polymorphic DNA sequences used to map genes. Methods for genetic mapping like linkage analysis and calculating recombination fractions are explained.
Lethal allele
This document discusses lethal alleles, which are alleles that cause death in an organism. It defines lethal alleles and provides a brief history of their discovery through early studies of coat color inheritance in mice. The document outlines four types of lethal alleles: early onset alleles that cause death early in life, late onset alleles that cause death late in life, conditional alleles that only cause death under certain environmental conditions, and semi-lethal alleles that only kill some individuals, not all. It provides the example of the Y gene in mice, which causes a yellow coat color but is lethal when present in the homozygous dominant state (YY), though not in the heterozygous or recessive states.
Cytoplasmic inheritance
This document discusses Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance. It provides examples of cytoplasmic inheritance including the inheritance of chloroplast genes in Mirabilis jalapa, where the phenotype is determined by the genotype of the female parent through cytoplasmic/plastid transmission, not the genes in the nucleus. It also discusses inheritance involving cytoplasmic particles like kappa particles in Paramecium, which are transmitted maternally but whose production is controlled by nuclear genes. The key differences between Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance are summarized in a table.
Genetics : Mendel's Law of Inheritance
Law of Dominance - Recessive alleles will always be masked by dominant alleles .
Law of Segregation - At the time of gametes formation the two copies of each hereditary factor segregates so that offspring get one factor from each parent .
Law of Independent Assortment - Genes for one trait are not inherited together with another trait .
Mendelian Laws of Inheritance
This document discusses Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance based on his experiments breeding pea plants. It defines key genetic terms and describes Mendel's three laws: 1) The Law of Dominance states that one allele is dominant over the recessive allele. 2) The Law of Segregation states that alleles segregate and pass to offspring independently during gamete formation. 3) The Law of Independent Assortment states that different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation. Mendel's laws established basic principles of heredity and laid the foundation for genetics.

Speciation
This document discusses speciation and the evolution of new species. It defines different types of speciation, including allopatric, parapatric, and sympatric speciation. Reproductive isolation is a key factor in speciation, with both prezygotic barriers that prevent interbreeding and postzygotic barriers affecting the viability of hybrid offspring. Speciation occurs over long periods of time through either gradual evolution or punctuated equilibrium. The document also covers taxonomy, phylogeny, cladistics, extinction, and adaptive radiation.
CROSSING OVER PPT
Crossing over occurs during meiosis when non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. It generates genetic diversity within populations that can drive evolution. The key steps are synapsis where homologs pair, duplication, exchange of segments between chromatids at chiasmata, and separation. Factors like distance, sex, temperature, chemicals, and radiation can influence crossing over rates. Significance includes proving linear gene arrangement, producing new combinations for evolution, and enabling genetic maps.
Sex determination in plants
1) Sex in plants refers to the male and female parts in flowers. Sex determination is the process by which plants develop as male or female.
2) There are several mechanisms of sex determination in plants, including environmental factors (temperature, light), chromosomes, and genes.
3) Chromosomal sex determination can involve homomorphic (identical) sex chromosomes or heteromorphic (different sized) sex chromosomes. Many plant species use one of these chromosomal mechanisms to determine sex.
Genic balance theory of Calvin Bridges
The document summarizes Calvin Bridges' theory of genic balance sex determination in Drosophila from 1926. The theory states that sex is determined not by XY chromosomes but by the ratio of X chromosomes to autosomes. If the ratio favors X chromosomes, the result is a female fly, and if autosomes outweigh X chromosomes, the outcome is a male fly. The exact molecular mechanism of this genic balance system remains unknown but studies suggest the X chromosome provides female factors and autosomes carry male determinants.
Variation of chromosomes
I tried to show different chromosomal abberations which can cause different abnormalities in different organisms.
Hardy weinberg law
Srishti Agrawal presented on the Hardy-Weinberg law to Dr. Ajay Kumar. The Hardy-Weinberg law states that allele and genotype frequencies remain constant between generations in a population if it is large, mates randomly, has no migration, mutation, or selection. The law assumes organisms are diploid, reproduce sexually, have non-overlapping generations, random mating, an infinitely large population, equal allele frequencies between sexes. Violations of random mating can change frequencies from Hardy-Weinberg proportions. Selection, genetic drift, migration, and mutation can also influence allele and genotype frequencies across generations.
Cladistic
Cladistics is a biological classification system that groups organisms based on shared traits and evolutionary relationships. It aims to trace ancestry back to common ancestors by constructing phylogenetic trees based on morphological and molecular data. Key terms in cladistics include plesiomorphy (ancestral traits), apomorphy (derived traits that define groups), and homoplasy (traits that evolved separately in different groups). Together, analysis of character states helps determine evolutionary relationships between taxa.
pedigree analysis
Pedigree analysis is an important tool for studying human inherited diseases. Pedigrees make relationships within families easier to visualize, especially in large families. They are used to determine the mode of inheritance, such as dominant, recessive, X-linked, etc. The document then discusses why pedigrees are used for humans instead of other methods due to small family sizes and uncontrolled matings in humans. It provides examples of different modes of inheritance and discusses analyzing dominant and recessive pedigrees to determine genotypes.
EXTRA CHROMOSOMAL INHERITANCE
Extrachromosomal inheritance involves the transmission of genetic traits from parent to offspring through cytoplasmic organelles like chloroplasts and mitochondria, rather than through nuclear genes. Three examples are given: (1) variegated leaves in four o'clock plants are inherited cytoplasmically, (2) streptomycin resistance in Chlamydomonas is inherited through chloroplasts, and (3) "poky" phenotype and abnormal cytochromes in Neurospora are inherited maternally through mitochondria. Cytoplasmic inheritance can also cause traits like cytoplasmic male sterility in plants. Maternal effects occur when the female parent's genotype influences offspring traits regardless of the male parent's genotype.
Hardyweinberg law
According to Hardy (England,1908) and Weinberg (Germany,1909), gene and genotype frequency of a Mendelian population remain constant generation after generation unless there is selection,mutation,migration or random drift.
Multiple allele
Multiple alleles occur when there are more than two allelic forms of a given gene in a species. Examples include blood groups in humans and coat color in mice. The ABO blood group gene in humans has three alleles - IA, IB, and i - which determine blood types A, B, AB, and O. Coat color in mice is also determined by multiple alleles at a single gene locus, with alleles for black, brown, agouti, gray, and albino hair colors exhibiting a dominance hierarchy. Multiple alleles always influence the same trait and occupy the same locus on chromosomes, with no crossing over between member alleles of a multiple allelic series.
Linkage – concept, types and theories
1. Genetic linkage occurs when two genes located near each other on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together during meiosis.
2. Early theories of linkage proposed by Sutton, Boveri, Bateson and Punnett failed to fully explain observed inheritance patterns.
3. Morgan's chromosomal theory of linkage established that genes are linearly arranged on chromosomes and that the closer two genes are, the stronger the tendency for them to be inherited together. This provided an explanation for linkage patterns and laid the foundation for modern genetics.

Malpighian tubules and Coxal Glands in Arachnids
Malpighian Tubules. Malpighian tubules remove nitrogenous wastes
(uric acid) from the hemocoel. Various ions are actively transported
across the outer membrane of the tubule. Water follows these ions
into the tubule and carries amino acids, sugars, and some nitrogenous
wastes along passively. Some water, ions, and organic compounds are
reabsorbed in the basal portion of the Malpighian tubules and the
hindgut; the rest are reabsorbed in the rectum. Uric acid moves into
the hindgut and is excreted in the feces.

Ecotoxicology & ecotoxicity
Toxicology
is a scientific discipline, overlapping with biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and medicine, that involves the study of the adverse effects of chemical substances on living organisms and the practice of diagnosing and treating exposures to toxins and toxicants.
Toxicity
is the degree to which a chemical substance or a particular mixture of substances can damage an organism
History
Ecotoxicology is a relatively young discipline that made its debuts in the 1970s
Ecotoxicology emerged after pollution events that occurred after World War II heightened awareness on the impact of toxic chemical and wastewater discharges towards humankind and the environment
The term « Ecotoxicology » was used for the first time in 1969 by René Truhaut, a toxicologist, during an environmental conference in Stockholm.
Animal systematics
hese groups should include the most recent ancestral species and all of its descendants called a monophyletic group
A paraphyletic group includes some, but not all, descendants of a most recent common ancestor.
Paraphyletic groups may also result when knowledge of the group is insufficient and the relationships need clarification in genetic and evolutionary contexts
Polyphyletic groups do not contain the most recent common ancestor of all members of the group. Members of a polyphyletic group have at least two phylogenetic origins.

Classification of organisms
This document discusses the classification of organisms. It begins by stating that biologists have identified approximately 1.6 million species, three-fourths of which are animals. It then discusses systematics and taxonomy, which involve describing new species and organizing animals into groups based on evolutionary relatedness. Phylogenies depict evolutionary histories using tree diagrams. A taxonomy hierarchy from broad to specific includes domains, kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera and species. Molecular approaches using DNA, genes and proteins provide information for taxonomic studies by reflecting evolutionary relatedness. The three domains are Eubacteria, Archaea and Eukarya. Taxonomies are traditionally built assuming vertical gene transfer but recent evidence suggests horizontal gene
Barriers of dispersal
The document discusses various barriers that limit the dispersal and distribution of animal species. There are three main categories of barriers: physical, climatic, and biological. Physical barriers include mountains, water bodies, and deserts which can isolate populations. Climatic barriers like temperature, humidity, and light also influence animal ranges. Biological barriers involve interactions with vegetation and other animals through predation, parasitism, and competition for resources. Together, these natural barriers influence the evolution and geographic distribution of wildlife.
Protostomes and deuterostomes
Protostomes and deuterostomes are the two major groups into which all animals are divided based on embryonic development. Protostomes include primitive invertebrates and undergo spiral cleavage, forming a trochophore larva. Deuterostomes include chordates and echinoderms and form the archenteron during gastrulation rather than the blastocoel, and may form a dipleurula larva. The document provides details on the differences in early embryonic development between protostomes and deuterostomes.
Geological time Scale
The geological timescale divides Earth's history into eons, eras, periods, and epochs based on fossil and rock evidence. The two eons are the Precambrian (earliest life) and Phanerozoic (complex life). Major periods include the Carboniferous (coal plants), Permian (mass extinction), Jurassic (rise of dinosaurs), and Cretaceous (asteroid impact killed dinosaurs). Today we are in the Quaternary period of the Cenozoic era.
Other patterns of organization
This document discusses different levels of biological organization, including unicellular, diploblastic, and triploblastic. It describes the three main patterns of triploblastic organization: acoelomate, pseudocoelomate, and coelomate. The presence or absence of a body cavity distinguishes these patterns and provides advantages like more room for organs and improved gas exchange.
Genetics, classicle and moddern
Classical genetics focuses on visible results of reproduction and heredity based on Mendel's experiments, while modern genetics examines DNA and its role in cellular chemical reactions. The key difference is that classical genetics is based on phenotypes from breeding, whereas modern genetics allows direct study of genotypes at the molecular level through DNA.
Zoogeography, History, Branches
Zoogeography is the branch of zoology that deals with the geographical distribution of animals. Alfred Russel Wallace is considered the father of zoogeography and was responsible for early contributions around regionalization of animal populations, a topic still studied today. Zoogeography maps current animal species distributions and formulates theories to explain them, taking into account geography, climate, geology, and evolutionary relationships between species.
Patterns of orgnization in animals
Radially symmetrical animals like sea anemones have body parts arranged evenly around a central axis, with no distinct head or tail. Bilaterally symmetrical animals like foxes have a head and tail region, allowing for directional movement and more complex sensory and nervous systems to evolve. There are three forms of tissue organization: protists and sponges lack symmetry; radially symmetrical animals have parts arranged around a central axis; and bilaterally symmetrical animals have distinct head and tail regions allowing for directional movement.
Peptide
Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. They typically contain between 2 and 50 amino acids. Chains with fewer than 10 or 15 amino acids are called oligopeptides, which include dipeptides, tripeptides, and tetrapeptides. Peptides can be formed through the partial hydrolysis of proteins.
Evolutionary relationship of phylum Arthropda and class insecta
The document discusses the evolutionary relationships within the phylum Arthropoda, including insects. Key points include:
- Arthropoda are characterized by jointed legs, a segmented and hardened exoskeleton, and metameric segmentation.
- Insects have three distinct body regions (head, thorax, abdomen), while other arthropods like spiders have two regions.
- Molecular evidence links arthropods with other moulting invertebrates like nematodes and velvet worms in the clade Ecdysozoa.
- Fossil evidence suggests Onychophora and Tardigrada shared traits with early arthropods like paired nerve cords and striated muscles.
- There are
Drinking Water and POllution source
There are two main sources of drinking water - surface water and groundwater. Surface water can become contaminated from pollution sources like factories, waste disposal, and agricultural runoff. Groundwater is also at risk of contamination from leaks and spills from underground storage tanks, waste disposal, and excess fertilizers and pesticides used in agriculture. Contaminated drinking water can cause serious health issues in both humans and wildlife. Various remediation methods exist to clean contaminated groundwater, including physical filtration, biological degradation using microorganisms, chemical treatments, and the use of ozone or UV light to purify the water. Protecting drinking water sources from pollution is important for public health.

Birds Migration
Birds migrate for various reasons including seeking food, avoiding predators, and responding to seasonal changes. There are different types of bird migration including longitudinal, altitudinal, and partial migrations. Birds have developed adaptations for migration such as morphological features, behavioral modifications, specialized moult cycles, and navigation abilities. Many birds migrate along global flyways like the Africa-Eurasia, East Asia-Australasia, and Americas flyways. In Pakistan, birds migrate through the Indus flyway, and the houbara bustard undertakes long distance migration from Central Asia to Pakistan each winter. Threats to migratory birds include habitat destruction, hunting, fishing, grazing, poverty, and lack of awareness.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
