clients and veterinary surgeons about genetics and inherited conditions; collaboration between all parties with an interest in the subject; and the generation and collection of sound data are all central to tac
As individuals, we vary widely in the level of our thinking skills, or 'cognitive function'.We inherit cognitive function from our parents, in the same way that physical characteristics are passed down. Scientists have discovered that, unlike eye colour, cognitive function is not influenced by a...
Inherited Traits Offspring inherit certain traits from their parents. An inherited trait is a characteristic that is passed from parents to offspring. Learned Behaviors A learned behavior is a behavior that an animal develops by observing other animals or being taught. Can you identify the learned b...
Acquired traits include things such ascalluses on fingers, larger muscle size from exercise or from avoiding predators. Behaviors that help an organism survive would also be considered acquired characteristics most of the time. Things like where to hide, what animals to hide from and other behavior...
Inherited Retinal Diseases (IRDs) are considered one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. However, the majority of them still lack a safe and effective treatment due to their complexity and genetic heterogeneity. Recently, gene therapy is gainin
TRAITS Traits are personal characteristics. They are things about you, such as how you look or what you like. Inherited Traits Some traits are given to you by mom and dad through genes. Genes are DNA information that is in your cells. We call these traits that are passed down through gen...
A cell has a history; its structure is inherited, it grows, divides, and, as in the embryo of higher animals, the products of division differentiate on complex lines. Living cells, moreover, transmit all that is involved in their complex heredity. I am far from maintaining that these ...

These iPSC-MNs had significant abnormalities in mitochondrial trafficking and electrophysiological characteristics, such as a reduced action potential threshold and abnormal channel current properties (Saporta et al., 2015). This may be due to altered K+ and Ca2+ channel kinetics. Mutations in the ...
Acquired characteristics, by definition, are characteristics that are gained by an organism after birth as a result of external influences or the organism's
