Course Description

Explore the foundational concepts of genetics with the Genetics Basics course by Infinity Learn NEET, a comprehensive online program designed to introduce you to the world of genes and inheritance. This course is perfect for anyone seeking to understand the core principles of biology's genetics branch through engaging lessons covering diverse topics.

Start with an introductory segment outlining the importance and application of genetic study. Progress through in-depth examinations of Mendelian Experiments, which include both monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, providing insights into genetic patterns and traits. Dive into the detailed explanations of chromosomes, genes, DNA, and traits, ensuring a solid grasp on these fundamental elements.

Discover the essential Laws of Genetics, followed by lessons that intricately break down the understanding of genetic crosses. Uncover exceptions to Mendelism and delve into the diverse types of genetic dominance. Further sections explore the Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance and contributions by pioneers like Thomas Morgan.

Milestones in genetic research and the pioneering Transforming Principle are thoroughly examined. Understand the Nature of the Transforming Principle, which leads into the structure and significance of the Double Helix. Gain a comprehensive understanding of replication methods and the Central Dogma of Life.

Enrich your knowledge with insights into chromosome structure and types, sex determination processes, and learn about mutations and their types. This course is suited for learners passionate about unraveling the complexities of genetics, aiming to provide a well-rounded and insightful educational experience.
