The relationship between heredity, variation, and selection
If there is no variation in organisms, their diversity will not exist, and there will be no target for selection. Then organisms cannot evolve, there will be no formation of new species, and inheritance can only be simple repetition.
If organisms do not have heredity, even the variations that occur cannot be inherited. Variations cannot be accumulated, and biological species cannot maintain the continuation of life. Without the existence of life, there will be no relatively stable species, and variation will lose its meaning.
Heredity and variation are the internal causes of biological evolution and the basic factors for biological survival and evolution. However, heredity is relatively conservative, while variation is absolute.
Heredity and mutation complement each other and work together
Research content
The nature of genetic material
Including the chemical nature of genes, the genetic information it contains, and the structural composition and changes of DNA and RNA
transmission of genetic material
Including the replication of genetic material, the behavior of chromosomes, the laws of inheritance and the quantitative changes of genes in the population.
Realization of genetic information
Including the function of genes, the interaction of genes, the role of genes and the environment, the regulation of gene expression and the mechanism of genes in individual development
Application of genetic laws
Use the laws of genetics to actively transform animals so that they can be used in production practices and benefit mankind.
research tasks
Study the phenomena of animal inheritance and variation and the causes and patterns of their manifestations, and deeply explore the causes and material basis of inheritance and variation. Elucidate its mechanism of action and reveal its inherent laws to further guide animal breeding practices, improve production levels, and use the results to actively transform animals, making them a powerful weapon for transforming animals and improving the breeding efficiency of various animals.
application
Increase the production of agricultural and livestock products
Use genetic manipulation technology to increase their reproduction, growth, death and change their character.
Control animal gender
Domestic animal gender control technology is a biotechnology that uses human intervention in the normal reproductive process of animals. It is a biotechnology that allows adult female animals to explain people's desired gender for their offspring. It controls the gender of animals based on the theory of animal gender determination.
Targeted control of genetic traits
By increasing the frequency of these specific genes in the population and implementing strict selection measures, it is expected to improve a certain genetic trait and even breed new varieties with special genetic traits.
Basics of Cytology

definition
chromosome
Chromosomes are chromatin that is tightly wound, folded, and exquisitely packaged during cell division. It is the existence form of genetic material with fixed form.
chromatin
It refers to the substance that can be stained by basic dyes in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells during the interphase of cell division. It is the form of genetic material in the interphase of cell division.
