Key Topics Covered:

• Terminology: Explore the essential vocabulary of genetics, including genes, alleles, chromosomes, genotype, phenotype, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, recessive, and more.
• Meiosis & Sexual Life Cycle: Understand the process of meiosis, how it generates genetic diversity, and its role in sexual reproduction.
• Mendelian Genetics: Delve into the principles of inheritance discovered by Gregor Mendel:
• Law of Segregation
• Law of Independent Assortment
• Monohybrid and dihybrid crosses
• Punnett squares
• Chromosomal Inheritance: Explore how genes are located on chromosomes and how chromosomal abnormalities can lead to genetic disorders.
• DNA Replication: Understand the intricate process of DNA replication, including the roles of key enzymes and the semi-conservative nature of replication.
• Gene Expression: Learn how genetic information is transcribed and translated into proteins:
• Transcription (DNA to RNA) 
• Translation (RNA to protein) 
• The role of ribosomes, tRNA, and mRNA
• DNA Tools & Biotechnology: Explore the exciting world of DNA technology:
• Restriction enzymes, gel electrophoresis, PCR, DNA sequencing
