01.01 SUMMARY
01.02 DEFINITIONS
Genetics is based on the science of gene processes. "The GENE is the biological unit that directs cellular processes and transmits inherited characteristics."[1]
The best way to begin understanding basic genetics is to read our quick recap of the "History of Genetics", but first some definitions.
HOMOZYGOUS - "Having a pair of genes for a specific characteristics that are identical with each other."[2]
HETEROZYGOUS - "Having a pair of genes for a specific characteristic that are different from each other."[3]

Brain And Behavior: An Introduction To Biological Psychology
A brain autopsy was performed on someone who had lost their ability to speak after a stroke. The autopsy revealed the area affected by the stroke. This area is now known as the "Broca Area (after Paul Broca the French physician who performed the autopsy)" and that area of the brain was considered one of the most important (if not THE MOST important) area(s) when it comes to our ability to speak.
