Introduction to Genetics and genetic studies. Mendel's experiment and laws of genetics

In the IGCSE and CIE (Cambridge International Education)curricula, Genetics is a part of Biology under the broader topics of inheritance and variation. It is covered in both IGCSE Biologyand AS/A Level Biology. Below is a breakdown of what you can expect in each: IGCSE Biology (Cambridge - 0610/0970) The topic of genetics is introduced under the following key areas: 1. Variation and Inheritance - Genetic variation: Understanding differences caused by genetic and environmental factors. - Inheritance: - Definition of key terms: genes, alleles, dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, genotype. - Monohybrid inheritance (using Punnett squares to predict offspring ratios). - Concepts of dominant and recessive traits. - Structure of DNA: - Basic structure of DNA (double helix) and its role in carrying genetic information. - Mutations: - Causes (e.g., radiation, chemicals) and effects of mutations on organisms. 2. Selective Breeding and Genetic Engineering (basic concepts): - Selective breeding in animals and plants to produce desired traits. - Introduction to genetic modification (GM), though details are limited in IGCSE. --- CIE AS and A Level Biology (9700) At the A Level, genetics is covered in greater depth. Key concepts include: 1. DNA and Protein Synthesis: - Structure of DNA, RNA, and nucleotides. - Transcription, translation, and protein synthesis. - Genetic code and its universal nature. 2. Cell Division: - Mitosis and meiosis. - Significance of meiosis in genetic variation (crossing over, independent assortment). 3. Inheritance: - Mendelian genetics: monohybrid and dihybrid crosses. - Codominance and multiple alleles. - Sex-linked inheritance (e.g., haemophilia, color blindness). - Pedigree analysis. 4. Gene Technology: - Recombinant DNA technology (genetic modification and cloning). - Applications of genetic engineering in medicine and agriculture. 5. Mutations: - Gene mutations and their effects. - Chromosomal abnormalities. 6. Variation and Selection: - Natural selection and evolution. - Role of genetic variation in populations. --- Summary - At the IGCSE level, genetics focuses on basic concepts of inheritance, variation, DNA structure, and simple Punnett square problems. - At the AS/A Level, the depth increases significantly, introducing advanced topics like meiosis, protein synthesis, genetic engineering, and natural selection.

Hello everyone! I am Gamze, a bioinformatician and evolutionary biologist working with the evolution of bats! I graduated from a multidisciplinary field called Earth System Science where geology, climatology, geography, and biology meet! Additionally, I am a caver and I enjoy exploring the underground world. I can teach university-level Biology, Ecology and Evolution classes.

I am a graduate in pharmaceutical sciences (gold-medalist) and I teach the following subjects: Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Cell Biology, Genetics, Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmacology, Analytical Chemistry. Highly interactive and friendly sessions to ensure complete comprehension of concepts and revision of basic fundamentals. A progress monitor is recorded and updated to better the understanding ability and progress of the learner. Being a post-graduate student myself, I am aware of the teaching environment and methodology a student expects. I believe being comfortable in asking questions until a concept is crystal clear, is of utmost importance at any level of learning.

Up until the 19th century Biology seemed to be the forgotten science; while Chemistry and Physics were making revolutionary discoveries, Biology was lagging behind. However, Biology finally picked up speed with Darwin's Theory and it's now a very popular science amongst students. While Biology can often seem daunting, with my classes I aim to explain and help those students who, like Biology in the past, feel like they are lagging behind :). Depending on what the student needs, I can help them go through what they have done in class, help with their homework or help them keep ahead! I might occasionally send some homework to make sure the knowledge is sinking in.

I teach students biology up to 12th grade. I use very easy methods of teaching even for advanced level topics. I specialize in teaching for school, board exams as well as for NEET and other medical entrances. I assign homework after every session and take a doubt class before starting another topics. I excel at human physiology and genetics, though I am really good at plant physiology as well.

With 20 years experience in teaching Biology including 3 years at Medical School as research and teaching assistant, I have been helping students pass their exams for over 20 years now. Whether you need 1 or a couple of lessons to clarify a topic or to pass an exam, or you need ongoing help throughout the whole semester or academic year, please do not hesitate to contact me.

As I studied basic medical sciences as well as advanced biology, I became fascinated by how it governs everything around us. Therefore, my goal is to facilitate the subject to my students so they can see how truly interesting science is.
