2. DNA Structure and Sequences

   • DNA composition, base pairing, nucleotide components, and double-helix complementarity.

3. DNA Profiling and Techniques

   • Restriction enzymes, recognition sequences, gel electrophoresis, and applications in DNA profiling.

4. Mendelian Genetics

   • Mendel’s principles, Punnett squares, genotype/phenotype ratios, and autosomal pedigree analysis.

5. Allele and Gene Interactions

   • Multigene crosses, degrees of dominance, and epistasis in metabolic and genetic pathways.

6. Chromosomal Inheritance

   • Chromosome behavior in meiosis, sex-linkage, and the chromosomal basis of inheritance.

7. Chi Square Analysis

   • Statistical evaluation of genetic data, chi-square test statistic, and hypothesis testing.

8. Gene Mapping and Recombination

   • Two- and three-point test crosses, genetic distances, interference, and tetrad analysis.

9. Chromosomal Disorders

   • Karyotypes, aneuploidy, rearrangements, deletions, translocations, and polyploidy.

10. Population Genetics

    • Allele frequencies, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, inbreeding, and population-level variation.

11. Gene Trees and Relationships

    • Phylogenetics, tree comparisons, evolutionary distances, and patterns of inheritance.
