Indeed, we need to remind ourselves how short the history of modern genetics really is. Recognition that genetic traits are carried by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) occurred only about 40 years ago. Knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of DNA is only about 30 years old. The correct number of human chromosomes was not deter mined until the mid-1950s, and Down syndrome was recognized only in 1959. It was not until in 1968 that the exact location of a gene was determined on an autosomal chromo some, and the study of genes, rather than their protein products, has been possible for barely a decade. | | 出版日期 | Book 1985 | | 关键词 | DNA; chromosome; ethics; genes; genetics; prenatal diagnosis | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4684-4952-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4684-4954-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4684-4952-5 | | copyright | Aubrey Milunsky and George J.
