Introduction to Genetics
遗传学导论
■ Genetics in the twenty-first century is built on a rich tradition of discovery and experimentation stretching from the ancient world through the nineteenth century to the present day.
■ 21 世纪的遗传学建立在从古代世界到 19 世纪再到现在的丰富发现和实验传统之上。
■ Transmission genetics is the general process by which traits controlled by genes are transmitted through gametes from generation to generation.
■ 传递遗传学是基因控制的性状通过配子代代传递的一般过程。
■ Mutant strains can be used in genetic crosses to map the location and distance between genes on chromosomes.
■ 突变菌株可用于遗传杂交,以绘制染色体上基因之间的位置和距离。
■ The Watson–Crick model of DNA structure explains how genetic information is stored and expressed. This discovery is the foundation of molecular genetics.
■ DNA 结构的 Watson-Crick 模型解释了遗传信息是如何存储和表达的。这一发现是分子遗传学的基础。

■ Biotechnology provides genetically modified organisms and their products that are used across a wide range of fields including agriculture, medicine, and industry.
■ 生物技术提供转基因生物及其产品,用于农业、医学和工业等广泛领域。
■ Model organisms used in genetics research are now utilized in combination with recombinant DNA technology and genomics to study human diseases.
■ 用于遗传学研究的模式生物现在与重组 DNA 技术和基因组学相结合,用于研究人类疾病。
■ Genetic technology is developing faster than the policies, laws, and conventions that govern its use.
■ 基因技术的发展速度超过了管理其使用的政策、法律和惯例。
