English vocabulary: Genetics

Hello everyone!
I am on fire in 2024! Lol. I am here again to share with you my study to learn vocabulary, and the theme today is genetics.
As you know, to increase your vocabulary, you need to read. If there's a word you don't know, you can translate it into your native language. Another step is to listen to (e.g., a documentary, podcast, series...) the theme of the chosen vocabulary to learn the pronunciation and memorize the words.

Watch the classes about genetic
I loved very much these classes. The teacher speaks a way easy English, pronouncing the words perfectly, thereby the listener can repeat them.

I wrote a text using some words from my vocabulary about genetics to help me remember:
GENETICS (250 Words)
Gregory Mendel was the one who managed to elucidate how the characteristics were transmitted of parents to the child. In 1865, the father of genetics achieved that feat at a moment when there was no knowledge about cell division and DNA structure.
In 1953, at Cavendish lab in
England, Francis Crick and James Watson with help of Rosalind Franklin conclude
the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
molecules have a your structure with two strands. The representation is a long molecule, with 2 strands intertwined around its
axis.
The DNA is formed by nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed
of a phosphate group, sugar and nitrogen base, and currently, we know
that the DNA molecule has the power to store genetics information. The two
strands of DNA are stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the bases attached to
the two chains. The four nitrogen bases in the DNA are adenine (a), cytosine
(c), guanine (g) e thymine (t).
The genetics is a field of biology that studies biological inheritance and its mechanisms. The genetic information
of an organism is denominated genome,
which is organized in the chromosomes.
The gene is a DNA segment. Humans have around of 30.000 genes and 46 chromosomes,
this constitutes
a long DNA sequence. The gene combinations are what differentiate the
individuals. Through the study of genes, it is possible to identify the
biological characteristics of each individual.
Furthermore, we need emphasize the relevance of this field for health and identifying people, either by to discovering and treating diseases or clarification/clarifying crimes. With the evolution of genetics many techniques and areas have emerged that are integrated into medicine, industry, agriculture and animal husbandry.
Until the next post. bye bye. 💪👋
"It seems likely that most if not all the genetic
information in any organism is carried by nucleic
acid - usually by DNA, although certain small viruses
use RNA as their genetic material." Francis Crick
