Understanding Genetic Mutations: Hemoglobin Variants and Inheritance Patterns

This overview explores the complexities of genetic mutations, focusing on hemoglobin and its variants. It highlights normal hemoglobin versus mutated forms caused by point mutations, such as CTC to GAG, affecting genetic information. By understanding the roles of mutations—such as point and frame shift mutations—we can better comprehend genetic disorders and inheritance patterns. Keywords will be reviewed for upcoming classes, including mutation types, alleles, genotypes, and phenotypes, alongside discussions of genetic disorders and potential treatments.
