Introduction: Genetics is one of the most important branches of biology, studying the hereditary characteristics of organisms, their genetic information, the structure of genes and chromosomes, and evolution. In the second half of the 20th century, genetics became a rapidly developing and expanding branch of biology, and was used in the research of physics, chemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, cybernetics, and mathematics. Scientific research in the field of genetics contributes not only to the development of biology, but also to the formation of research skills of students, as well as to the preservation of human life and their health. Main part. As we all know, the healthy birth of our children is largely directly related to the dissemination of genetic knowledge and increasing genetic literacy among the general population, especially among young people. Therefore, it is of practical importance to provide the younger generation with knowledge of the basics of genetics, as well as all sciences, to form their scientific worldview, conduct genetic analyses, and achieve important results in meeting the needs of The American Journal of Social Science and Education Innovations 47 https://www.theamericanjournals.com/index.php/tajssei The American Journal of Social Science and Education Innovations people in their lives. However, the results of our teaching process. In particular, thalassemia disease (a research in this area revealed that there are a number disorder of normal hemoglobin synthesis) is interpreted of problems of a theoretical and practical nature in the as partially dominant in some literatures and as process of teaching this section, and in order to completely dominant in some textbooks and manuals eliminate these problems, it is required of specialists (there are also such ambiguities in many other character engaged in pedagogical activities in this area to waves), or another example, the specific features of develop clear and correct methodological solutions codominance and partial dominance are not fully and apply them in pedagogical activities. explained. Similarly, the interpretation of the stages of mitosis in most literatures as consisting of 5 phases and To eliminate these problems, it is considered in some literatures as 6 phases, the inheritance of wool appropriate for students to be active in mastering in mice as an epistatic effect in some literatures and a knowledge of genetic content, to be able to apply complementary effect in most literatures, of course, theoretical information in practice, to apply integrative leads to a number of confusions in the process of knowledge, and to develop creative thinking in the assimilation of genetic knowledge by teachers and process of solving problems that reflect genetic laws. students. This is an important pedagogical approach in the process of further deepening the knowledge of We believe that our scientists should come to a students in the field of genetics and preparing them to unanimous opinion on the solution of the above solve real-life problems. problems based on genetic research. And it is appropriate to present the types of gene interaction in Studying the content of the topics of the genetics textbooks as complementary, epistasis, polymer types, department is complex, due to the breadth of its and the remaining types as separate types of gene theoretical and practical aspects, the depth of scientific effects (foreign literature, in particular, in the textbook concepts and ideas, and requires great attention and “Genetics” published in 2020 by the Moscow geneticist analytical, independent, logical and creative thinking V.I. Ivanov, the types of non-allelic genes are from students during their mastery of the topics of this interpreted in this way). Genetic traits should be clearly department. given in terms of dominant and recessive states and the One of the first problems in improving the stages of the processes should be presented in a clear methodology for teaching the topics of the genetics order. department is the presentation of scientific Another important problem in improving the information i
