Classical Genetics deals with the basic laws of
inheritance first published by Gregor Mendel in the 1865 and variations
to those laws that were discovered in the first half of the 20th
century through work done principally on model organisms like
the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. This unit also
covers the relationship between meiosis and genetics which lead
to the chromosomal theory of inheritance and the ramifications
for a better understanding of human genetic diseases.
