The Study of Genetics Summary: what types of questions in genetics are being investigated using C. elegans? One example - cell division - is illustrated. Information on research laboratories, research tools and instructional materials is also provided. Genetics Research Questions Geneticists are interested in how genesG affect the formation/development of cells/organisms. For instance, PAR (partitioning defect) genes are important in C. elegans cell polarization. The deletion of PAR2, one of the PAR family genes, in a C. elegans zygoteG will produce two identical daughter cells instead of two unequal sizes daughter cells (AB and P1 cells). Here is a list of C. elegans genetics research questions to get you start thinking about research in genetics.

Example Research More genetics Research A list of research lab inquires into phenomena of genetics using C. elegans. Genetics Research: How is the question solved? Commonly used tools, procedures and methodologies are listed here. Instructional Materials Here is a list of C. elegans genetics instructional materials. Gene: physical and functional unit of heredity which carries information from one generation to the next. In molecular terms, it is the entire DNA sequence – including exons, introns, and noncoding transcription-control regions-necessary for production of a functional protein or RNA. (Molecular Cell Biology/Harvey Lodish [et al.] - 4th) Zygote: a fertilized egg; diploid cell resulting from fusion of a male and female gamete. (Molecular Cell Biology/Harvey Lodish [et al.] - 4th) |
