Bacterial genetics is the subfield of genetics devoted to the study of bacteria. Bacterial genetics are subtly different from eukaryotic genetics, however bacteria still serve as a good model for animal genetic studies. One of the major distinctions between bacterial and eukaryotic genetics stems from the bacteria s lack of membrane bound organelles this is true of all prokaryotes. While it is a fact that there are prokaryotic organelles, they are never bound by a lipid membrane, but by a shell of proteins , necessitating protein synthesis occur in the cytoplasm .

In genetics , anticipation is a phenomenon whereby the symptoms of a genetic disorder become apparent at an earlier age as it is passed on to the next generation . In most cases, an increase of severity of symptoms is also noted. Anticipation is common in trinucleotide repeat disorders such as Huntington s disease and myotonic dystrophy where a dynamic mutation in DNA occurs. All of these diseases have neurological symptoms. Prior to the understanding of the genetic mechanism for anticipation, it was debated whether anticipation was a true biological phenomenon or whether the earlier age of diagnosis was related to heightened awareness of disease symptoms within a family. Trinucleotide Repeats and Expansion Trinucleotide repeats are apparent in a number of locusgenetics loci in the human genome . They have been found in introns , exons and five prime untranslated region 5 or 3 UTR s. They consist of a pattern of three nucleotides e.g. CGG which is repeated a number of times. During meiosis , unstable repeats can undergo triplet expansion see later section in this case, the germ cells produced have a greater number of repeats than are found in the somatic tissues. The mechanism behind the expansion of the triplet repeats is not well understood. One hypothesis is that the increasing number of repeats influence the overall shape of the DNA , which can have an effect on its interaction with DNA polymerase and thus the expression of the gene. Fact date March 2008 Disease mechanisms For many of the loci, trinucleotide expansion is harmless, ref citation ref but in some areas expansion has detrimental effects that cause symptoms. When the trinucleotide repeat is present within the protein coding region, the repeat expansion leads to production of a mutant protein with gain of function . This is the case for Huntington s disease , where the trinucleotide repeat encodes a long ... disorders DEFAULTSORT Anticipation Genetics Category Genetic disorders by mechanism de Antizipation ... more details
Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Classical genetics consists of the technique and methodologies of genetics that predate the advent of molecular biology . A key discovery of classical genetics in eukaryote s was genetic linkage . The observation that some gene s do not segregate independently at meiosis broke the laws of Mendelian inheritance , and provided science with a way to map characteristics to a location on the chromosome s. Linkage maps are still used today, especially in breeding for plant improvement . After the discovery of the genetic code and such tools of Clone genetics cloning as restriction enzyme s, the avenues of investigation open to geneticists were greatly broadened. Some classical genetic ideas have been supplanted with the mechanistic understanding brought by molecular discoveries, but many remain intact and in use. Classical genetics is often contrasted with reverse genetics , and aspects of molecular biology are sometimes referred to as molecular genetics .
