Particle Cosmology: Bridging the Universe and Its Fundamental Building Blocks
Particle cosmology is a multidisciplinary field that explores the intersection of particle physics, which studies subatomic particles at high energies, and physical cosmology, which examines the universe as a cohesive entity. This inte...
Simple Mendelian genetics in humans
Mendelian Traits: Monogenic Inheritance
Mendelian traits adhere to the principle of monogenic inheritance, where a single gene is responsible for a specific trait. These traits are typically discrete, such as eye color, and follow predictable inheritance patterns. Dominant alleles express their trait even when p...
