Principles of Genetics and Cytogenetics

The word genetics, coined by William Bateson, is derived from the Latin word genesis, which means birth. Genetics is the study of heredity and variation. Heredity refers to the transmission of genetic information, more precisely genes, from parents to offspring. This PDF Principles of Genetics and Cytogenetics covers the following topics related to Genetics :  Inrtoduction, Earlier Concepts of Heredity, Cytology, Chromosome Morphology, Molecular Structure of Chromosome, Special Types of Chromosomes, Cell Division, Sexual Reproduction, Mendelian Genetics, Gene Action, Principles of Dominance, Lethal Genes, Epistasis / Gene Interaction, Multiple Alleles, Qualitative and Quantitative Characters, Polygenic Inheritance, Linkage, Crossing Over, Genetic and Physical Map, Sex Determination, Sex Determination in Humanbeings, Mutation, Chromosomal Aberrations, the Structure of Dna, Dna Replication, Rna as Genetic Material, the Genetic Code, Central Dogma of Molecular Biology, Transcription and Translation, Regulation of Gene Expression, Fine Structure of Genes, etc.

Genetics Lecture Notes by MIT

This lecture note discusses the principles of genetics with application to the study of biological function at the level of molecules, cells, and multicellular organisms, including humans. Topics covered includes: structure and function of genes, chromosomes and genomes, biological variation resulting from recombination, mutation, and selection, population genetics, use of genetic methods to analyze protein function, gene regulation and inherited disease.
