Lesson 26 is the final lesson of the Human Biology Masterclass and concludes Section 6: Reproduction and Genetics.
In this lesson, we explore mutations and genetic diseases, including how DNA changes arise, how different types of mutations affect genes and proteins, and how genetic conditions can be inherited.
Topics covered include germline and somatic mutations, point mutations, frameshift mutations, silent, missense and nonsense mutations, spontaneous and induced mutations, mutagens, DNA repair, chromosomal mutations, nondisjunction, autosomal recessive and dominant inheritance, X-linked conditions, and chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome.
This final lesson brings together the key concepts of genetics, heredity, DNA, reproduction, and human biology covered throughout the course.
