Biology concept taught by Khusbu
The session focused on various genetic conditions and testing methods, including inbreeding depression, autosomal disorders, and fetal genetic testing. The Student reviewed the causes, inheritance patterns, and clinical outcomes of sickle cell anemia, achondroplasia, and Huntington's disease. Fetal testing techniques like amniocentesis and CVS were explained, and the importance of genetic counseling was highlighted.
Multifactorial Diseases
Fetal Testing: Amniocentesis and Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
CAG Repeats in Huntington's Disease
Autosomal Dominant Conditions: Achondroplasia and Huntington's Disease
Heterozygote Advantage: Malaria Resistance
Sickle Cell Disease: Pleiotropy and Point Mutation
Inbreeding Depression
The session covered complex genetics, including epistasis, polygenic inheritance, multiple alleles, and blood transfusions. The Student reviewed the concepts, examples, and immunological significance of blood types. The Tutor scheduled a follow-up class to continue covering pedigree analysis and other topics from the genetics slides.
Epistasis: Gene Interaction
Polygenic Inheritance: Multiple Genes
One Trait
Dominance vs. Recessiveness: A Molecular Perspective
Dominance and Phenotype: Level-Dependent Effects
Frequency of Alleles: Dominance Doesn't Equal Common
Multiple Alleles: Beyond Two Options
Blood Transfusions and Immune Response
The Student and Tutor discussed probability in genetics, covering multiplication and addition rules, dihybrid crosses, incomplete dominance, co-dominance, multiple alleles, and pleiotropy. The Student practiced calculating probabilities and distinguishing between different inheritance patterns. The next session will cover pedigree analysis.
Multiple Alleles
Co-dominance
Incomplete Dominance
Dihybrid Crosses and Gamete Formation
Addition Rule (OR Rule)
Multiplication Rule (AND Rule)
Simplified Probability Method for Dihybrid Crosses
The Student and Tutor discussed the mechanisms of genetic variation, including independent assortment, crossing over, and random fertilization. They also began exploring Mendelian genetics, focusing on the laws of segregation and independent assortment and their relationship to meiosis. The Student was assigned practice problems and a follow-up session was scheduled to continue discussing Mendelian genetics and probability.
Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment
Test Cross
Mendel's Law of Segregation
Crossing Over
Independent Assortment of Chromosomes
Random Fertilization
The Student learned about meiosis, comparing different life cycle strategies in animals, plants, and fungi. The session covered the stages of meiosis I and II, focusing on chromosome behavior and genetic variation. The next session will delve deeper into independent assortment, crossing over, and mutation.
Meiosis I & II: Reduction Division & Sister Chromatid Separation
Genetic Variation in Meiosis: Independent Assortment & Random Fertilization
Prophase I: Synapsis
Crossing Over & Genetic Recombination
Fungi Life Cycle: Haploid Dominance
Plant & Algae Life Cycle: Alternation of Generations
Animal Life Cycle: Diploid Dominance
Sexual Life Cycles & Genetic Variation
The Tutor and Student reviewed meiosis, contrasting it with mitosis and exploring the concepts of genes, genomes, homologous chromosomes, haploidy, and diploidy. They discussed how meiosis contributes to genetic variation and evolution. The next session will further discuss meiosis and compare mitosis and meiosis.
Meiosis vs. Mitosis
Homologous Chromosomes
Gene vs. Genome
Ploidy: Haploid vs. Diploid
