Why do we have to learn genetics? 生命的傳承 生物醫學上的應用 生物多樣性上的應用 Chapter 1 Introduction to Genetics 1.1 From Mendel to DNA in Less Than a Century 1.2 Discovery of the Double Helix Launched the Recombinant DNA Era 1.3 Genomics (基因體學) Grew Out of Recombinant DNA Technology (DNA 重組技術) 1.4 The Impact of Biotechnology Is Growing 1.5 Model Organisms (模型生物, 動物模型) Play Important Roles in Genetics and Biology 1.6 We Live in the "Age of Genetics" 1.1 From Mendel to DNA in Less Than a Century • In eukaryotes, DNA resides in the nucleus and organelles reside in the cytoplasm (Figure 2-1). Genetics Mendel (1866) Rediscovery (1900) Carl Correns de Vries von Tschermak Watson and Crick (1953) Genes and chromosomes are the fundamental units of genetics What does “genetics” mean? Heredity 承傳/遺傳; variation變異 Inherited variation and the underlying molecular basis What is the center of heredity in a cell? What is a gene? What is a chromosome? When and how can chromosomes be visualized? • According to the chromosome theory of inheritance, inherited traits are controlled by genes residing on chromosomes. The genes are faithfully transmitted through gametes, maintaining genetic continuity from generation to generation. How many chromosomes can an organism have? diploid (2n) 雙倍體 homologous chromosomes 同源染色體 Centromeres 著絲點 Locus/Loci 基因座 Haploid Polyploid 1.1 From Mendel to DNA in Less Than a Century 1.1.1 Mendel’s Work on Transmission of Traits 1.1.2 The Chromosome Theory of Inheritance: Uniting Mendel and Meiosis 1.1.3 Genetic Variation Figure 1-2 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. Figure 1-3 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. Figure 1-5 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. What is accomplished during the process of mitosis and meiosis? • In mitosis, chromosomes are copied and distributed so that the two resulting daughter cells each receive a diploid set. In meiosis, the gametes produced are haploid. What are the sources of genetic variation? Recombination during meiosis Chromosomal mutations (aberrations): duplication 複製, deletion 缺失, rearrangement 重組 Gene mutations: smaller changes in DNA Variation Alleles 等位基因 Mutations produce alleles of a gene and are the source of genetic variation. Genotypes 基因型 vs. phenotype 表現型 Figure 1-6 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. 1.1 From Mendel to DNA in Less Than a Century 1.1.4 The Search for the Chemical Nature of Genes: DNA or Protein? • DNA, not protein, is the carrier of genetic information. Figure 1-7 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. 1.2 Discovery of the Double Helix Launched the Recombinant DNA Era 1.2.1 The Structure of DNA and RNA • DNA is an antiparallel, double-stranded helix made up of the nucleotides A, C, G, and T. The sugar in its nucleotides is deoxyribose . These nucleotides form A–T and G–C base pairs across the helix (Figure 1-8). Figure 1-8 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. • • RNA is similar to DNA except that it is usually single-stranded and has U in place of T. In addition, the sugar in its nucleotides is ribose instead of deoxyribose. DNA is transcribed to RNA, which is translated into protein (Figure 1-9). This is known as the central dogma of genetics. Figure 1-9 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. The genetic code and RNA triplets 三聯體 AUG Met UUU Phe UUC • The genetic code consists of triplet nucleotides present in mRNA. Each triplet encodes for insertion of a specific amino acid into a growing protein chain. 1.2.2 Gene Expression 基因表達: From DNA to Phenotype Once a protein is made, its action or location in a cell plays a role in producing a phenotype. 1.2.3 Proteins and Biological Function Enormous structural diversity primary structure secondary structure tertiary structure quaternary structure Figure 1-10 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. 1.2.4 Linking Genotype to Phenotype: Sickle-Cell Anemia Figure 1-11 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc.

Figure 1-13 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. 1.3 Genomics Grew Out of Recombinant DNA Technology 1.3.1 Making Recombinant DNA Molecules and Cloning DNA • Restriction enzymes (限制酶) have allowed the advent of recombinant DNA and cloning (複製, 克隆) (Figure 1-14). Figure 1-14 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. 1.3 Genomics Grew Out of Recombinant DNA Technology 1.3.2 Sequencing Genomes: The Human Genome Project • Genomics analyzes genome sequences to study the structure, function, and evolution of genes and genomes. 1.4 The Impact of Biotechnology Is Growing 1.4.1 Plants, Animals, and the Food Supply •Biotechnology has been used for the genetic modification of crop plants for increased herbicide, insect, and viral resistance, as well as for nutritional enhancement. Some genetically altered traits in crop plants are shown in Table 1-1. Table 1-1 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. Figure 1-16 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. 1.4 The Impact of Biotechnology Is Growing 1.4.2 Who Owns Transgenic Organisms? Figure 1-17 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. 1.4 The Impact of Biotechnology Is Growing 1.4.3 Biotechnology in Genetics and Medicine • The molecular basis for hundreds of genetic disorders is known (Figure 1-18). Gene therapy and genetic testing are important parts of medicine. Figure 1-18 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. Figure 1-19 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. 1.5 Genetic Studies Rely On the Use of Model Organisms Model Organisms Play Important Roles in Genetics and Biology 1.5 Genetic Studies Rely On the Use of Model Organisms 1.5.1 The Modern Set of Genetic Model Organisms Model organisms for genetic study are easy to grow, have a short life cycle, and produce many offspring. 1.5 Genetic Studies Rely On the Use of Model Organisms 1.5.2 Model Organisms and Human Diseases • All life has a common origin, and genes with similar functions in different organisms are similar in structure and DNA sequence. • Recombinant DNA technology and the ability to transfer genes across species has made it possible to develop models of human diseases (Table 1.2). Table 1-2 Copyright © 2006 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. 1.6 We Live in the "Age of Genetics" • Genetics is the core of biology and the method of choice for understanding the functions and malfunctions of a biological system.
