  • Genetics is the study of heredity and variation
  • Heredity is the transmission or inheritance of traits
  • Traits is the seen or unseen characteristics
  • Traits has 2 type : Genotype and Phenotype
  • Genotype: determined by the information that genes contain
  • Phenotype: visible traits
  • Genes: unit of inheritance and the biological code
  • "Genos" : meaning "offspring" "race" "Stock"
  • Variation: the differences of things
  • Gregor Johann Mendel is the father of genetics
  • Cell: Is the smallest structure and functional unit of an organism
  • Unicecullar: one or single cell
    Multicellular: numerous cell
  • Cell membrane or Plasma membrane: It is a selectively
    permeable membrane of the cells, which is composed of a lipid bilayer and proteins.
  • Nucleus : control center of the cellular
    activities
  • Cytoplasm: They are jelly-like substances, found between the cell membrane and nucleus.
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum:They are the transport system of the cell, involved in transporting materials throughout the cell.
  • Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum – They are
    composed of cisternae, tubules, and vesicles, which
    are found throughout the cell and are involved in
    protein manufacture.
  • Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum – They are the
    storage organelle, associated with the production of
    lipids, steroids, and also responsible for detoxifying
    the cell.
  • Mitochondria : are the
    powerhouse of the cell,
  • Golgi Apparatus: packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport out of the cell.
  • Lysosomes: breaking down waste materials and cellular debris,
  • Ribosomes: are tiny structures that are responsible for protein synthesis, translating genetic information from RNA into proteins.
  • Centrioles
    The centrioles are cylindrical structures found in animal cells.
  • Vacuoles are mostly defined as storage
    bubbles of irregular shapes which are found
    in cells.
  • Cell Division
    Is a process of reproducing cells.
  • Original cell : Parent cell
  • More cell : Daughter cell
  • Deoxyribonucleic Acid - controls all cell activities
  • Long thread-like DNA- chromatic
  • Doubled, coil DNA - chromosomes
  • chromatid -  one of the two identical halves of a chromosome
  • centromere - place where the cell's spindle fibers attach
  • The cell cycle : Interphase and M phase
  • Interphase - is the longer stage
  • Interphase stages:
    First gap phase
    synthesis phase
    second gap phase
  • G1 - cell grows larger
  • S phase - synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA
  • G2 - the grows more and makes protein and organelles
  • Mitosis - known as M phase
  • Mitosis - it divides the cell to make 2 new cell
