What is the Law of Heredity?

The laws of heredity are fundamental principles that explain how genetic traits are passed from parents to offspring. Simply put, they are the "rules of the game" that nature sets to determine what characteristics you will inherit from your grandparents and parents.

What is the Law of Heredity?

The basic genetic laws learned include:

The Law of Segregation: Each individual carries two genetic factors (alleles) that determine a trait. When gametes are formed, these alleles segregate into different gametes.

The Law of Independent Assortment: Different trait-defining allele pairs segregate independently during gamete formation.

Gene Linkage: Genes located on the same chromosome are usually inherited together.

Significance of the laws of heredity:

Explaining Biological Diversity: Thanks to the laws of heredity, new organisms consistently emerge with varying changes, creating the rich diversity of species.

Application in Breeding: Humans have applied genetic laws to create high-yield, high-quality plant and animal breeds.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Genetic Disorders: A deep understanding of genetic laws helps scientists identify the causes of many genetic diseases and offer effective treatment methods.

In summary, the laws of heredity are the foundation of genetics, helping us to better understand life and the genetic phenomena occurring around us.

When do students in Vietnam learn about the Law of Heredity?

Based on Section 5 of the general education biology curriculum issued under Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, the requirements for Grade 12 Biology are as follows:

Required Achievements

....

- Draw and explain the diagram linking the three processes that demonstrate the mechanism of heredity at a molecular level: the process of genetic information transmission.

- Practice DNA extraction.

- Present experiments on the Lac operon of E.coli.

- Analyze the significance of gene expression regulation in cells and during individual development.

- List the applications of gene expression regulation.

- Define the concept of a genome.

- Present some achievements and applications of decoding the human genome.

- Define gene mutation. Differentiate between types of gene mutations.

- Analyze the causes and mechanisms of gene mutation occurrence.

- Present the role of gene mutations in evolution, breeding, and genetic research.

- Define the concept, principles, and some achievements of recombinant DNA technology.

- Define the concept, principles, and some achievements in creating genetically modified plants and animals.

- Debate and critique the production and use of genetically modified products and bioethics.

- Based on schematics (or images), present the ultrastructure of chromosomes.

- Describe gene arrangement on chromosomes, where each gene is located at a specific site known as a locus.

- Present the significance of mitosis, meiosis, and fertilization in genetic research, explaining how they determine the movement patterns and transmission of genetic information through generations of cells and individuals.

- Analyze chromosome dynamics (replication, segregation, recombination) in mitosis, meiosis, and fertilization as the basis of gene dynamics expressed in genetic laws, recombinational variation, and chromosomal quantity variation.

- Present that chromosomes are genetic material.

- Explain the context of Mendel's experiments.

- Describe the arrangement and execution of Mendel's experiments.

- State the laws of genetic phenomena and explain Mendel's experiments.

....

Therefore, according to the general education biology curriculum for Grade 12, students will learn about Mendel's experiment arrangement and execution, state the laws of genetic phenomena, and explain Mendel's experiments.

Hence, Grade 12 students will learn about the laws of heredity.

What is the first biology topic in grade 12 curriculum in Vietnam?

Based on Section 5 of the general education biology curriculum issued under Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, the study topics for Grade 12 Biology are defined as follows:

STUDY TOPIC

Topic 12.1: MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

The aim of the topic is to enhance knowledge about the material basis of heredity (molecular level) as a foundation for understanding theoretical achievements and the application of molecular genetics in human life during the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Gene technology is described as an example of these achievements to spark interest in learning and career orientation in biology in general and molecular biology in particular.

Content Required Achievements

- Overview of molecular biology and achievements

- Define molecular biology.

- Present notable modern achievements in theory and application of molecular biology.

- Analyze the principles of applying molecular biology in practice.

- Principles of DNA extraction methods

- Gene technology

- Gene technology prospects - Define the principles of DNA extraction methods from cells.

- Based on schematics, describe the steps in gene technology. Present the steps to create genetically modified plants and animals. Provide illustrative examples.

- Explain the scientific basis of gene transfer and why vectors are used to transmit genes from one cell to another.

- Execute a project or topic researching genetically modified products. Create a journal with articles, pictures about gene technology.

- Gather information evaluating the prospects of gene technology in the future.

- Execute the skills: report writing, presentation, journal creation, video design.

Topic 12.2: BIOLOGICAL CONTROL

...

Thus, based on the above regulations, Grade 12 students will first learn about the topic 12.1: MOLECULAR BIOLOGY.
