Course Description

Overview

Explore the fundamental principles of genetic transmission in this 45-minute lecture from Yale University's "Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior" course. Delve into the structure of DNA and genetic material, understanding how it encodes the information necessary for all living organisms. Examine the processes of DNA replication and its implications for inheritance. Learn about Mendel's laws of genetic inheritance and their significance in understanding trait transmission. Investigate the nature of mutations and their consequences on genetic variation and evolution. Gain insights into the mechanisms of asexual and sexual reproduction, including mitosis and meiosis, and their roles in passing genetic information to offspring. Discover the importance of RNA in DNA duplication and genetic processes. This comprehensive lecture provides a solid foundation in basic transmission genetics, essential for understanding the driving forces behind evolution.
