PPT-Understanding Evolution in terms of Genetics

DARWINS UNDERSTANDING VS PRESENT DAY How are inheritable traits passed How do variations appear Todays understanding of genes DNA variation and mutations is central to our understanding of how evolution works . Understanding the Basic Genetics of Cat Colors A presentation of The Cat Fanciers By: Keith King. Objectives. State the history of genetics;. Describe major century events;.
