  3. OBJECTIVES • ANATOMY: • Microscopic examination of cells • Recognition of different tissues • Recording observations as labeled drawings Practicing • GENETICS: • What are genes • How genes express characters • Variation of individuals in a family • Variation of tissues within an individual • Genetic diseases (e.g. Cancer) • PCR • Genetic fingerprints Understanding

  4. HOW IT WORKS • LECTURES: • On Time • How if I’m Late? • PowerPoint Lectures • How to follow? • Scientific Terms • Talking • Exams • LABORATORY: • On Time • Your Group • Uniform • Lab Notebook, Pencil & eraser • How To Use Your Notebook? • Talking • Marks Solutions ofLanguage Problem!!!

  5. EXAMINATIONS • Scientific Terms (Memorize Terms) • √ or X • Multiple Choice • Complete a Text • Complete a Drawing • Drawing • Figure out (Understand) from a Diagram Do Not Forget YourSeat Number(NEVER) Write Your Name CLEARLY MARKS: GPA: Grade Point Average

  6. Course Contents Introduction Essential Basics of Genetics Nucleotides, Nucleic Acids & Genetic Elements Amino acids & Proteins DNA Replication & DNA Repair Genetic Code & Gene Expression Regulation of Gene Expression Mutations, Cell Division Cancer & Other Genetic Disorders Gene Technology

  7. PRINCIPLES of GENETICS The Genetic Material Is A Stored Language

  8. The Genetic Material Is A Stored Language LETTER WORD SENTENCE CHAPTER BOOK NUCLEOTIDE CODE GENE CHROMOSOME GENOME May include billions of characters

  9. AREAS OF GENETICS Geneticscomprises a number of overlapping fields e.g.: Classical genetics: the study of the transmission of single genes within families Molecular genetics:the molecular study of genetics including DNA and RNA Developmental genetics: genetics of normal and abnormal development Dental genetics: genetics of dental diseases and regulation of tooth development Behavior Genetics:studying the inheritance of behavioral traits Immunogenetics: genetics of the immune system including antibodies Clinical genetics: the diagnosis, and the treatment of genetic diseases Pharmacogenetics: how genes govern the absorption, metabolism & disposal of drugs Population genetics:the study of genes within populations including gene frequencies 9

  10. Keywords: Genetics Classical Genetics Molecular Genetics Dental Genetics Behavior Genetics Clinical Genetics
