Understanding Genetics
| Genetics is about the transfer of information
among many different levels. The foundation level is the molecule
called DNA (1). The information in DNA is organized into
Genes (2). Genes, in turn, make up Chromosomes (3),
which when taken all together form an organism's Genome (4).
Every cell in an Individual (5) contains the genome.
The final level shows how individuals are genetically connected
to their families and larger populations through inheritance
patterns. |
