We introduced a new nonassociative algebra, namely, left almost algebra, and discussed some of its genetic properties. We discussed the relation of this algebra with flexible algebra, Jordan algebra, and generalized Jordan algebra. 1. Introduction 23 pairs of chromosomes, with a total of 46 chromosomes. A gene is a unit of hereditary information and lies on chro- We introduced a new nonassociative and noncommutative mosomes.

Diploid cells are those which carry a double set with known algebras, namely, flexible, alternative, and Jordan of chromosomes and haploid cells are those which carry a algebras. We discussed some characteristics of this algebra single set of chromosomes. Diploid cells produce sex cells which is similar to a commutative and associative algebra. We called gametes through a process called meiosis. Mitosis is discussed some of the genetic properties of this algebra. the process of reproduction in haploid cells. The gametes cells meet each other and give a zygote which is again a diploid cell. Some Basics from Genetics. Here, we discuss some simple ideas in genetics for nongeneticists and for those who are Basics of Genetic Algebra. After the theory of Charles Darwin, purely related to mathematics. Each cell of an organism it was Gregor Mendel who studied the natural laws of genetic contains long thread-like structures called chromosomes inheritance and tried to express them in a mathematical which are located inside the nucleus of animals and plants. language. In [1–3], Etherington introduced a new method Chromosomes are made of protein and a single molecule of nonassociative algebras to study genetics. Holgate stud- of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). After cell division, chro- ied these algebras with genetic realizations in [4–7]. Reed mosomes pass from parent cells to the newborn cells. The discussed the nonassociative algebraic structure of genetic particular intersections that the DNA carries make each inheritance in [8]. The genetic algebra with mutation has living creature unique from others. The molecules of the DNA been discussed in [9, 10]. Several other authors studied aretoolong,whichcanbefittedinsidethecellsonlyby nonassociative algebras with genetic realizations (for details, chromosomes. Moreover, chromosomes play an important see [10–14]). role in copying and distributing DNA accurately in the whole Let be a nonempty set together with two binary process of cell division.

Males and females have different chromosomes; that respecttomultiplication;then,itisknownasanonassociative is, females have two chromosomes in their cells whereas ring (algebra). Lie ring was introduced by defining and males have one and one chromosome. Humans have replacing a new binary operation [, ] = ,forall − ,, 2 Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine with ordinary multiplication of an associative ring (algebra); the juxtaposition between 1 and 2 shows a binary operation obviously, it is a nonassociative ring (algebra). By defining a which is not associative because (12)2 ≠ 1(22) or new binary operation ⋅ = (1/2)( +) on an associative equivalently (12)2 =1(22) says that both alleles algebra over a field whose characteristic is not equal to 2, we 1 and 2 are the same. Therefore, the associative law obtain another important nonassociative algebra known as does not hold for the gametic algebra and it also does not Jordan algebra. It is worth mentioning here that the theory hold for the zygotic algebra. Generally, algebras associated of nonassociative algebras is a fruitful branch of algebra. with genetics are commutative but nonassociative. In [3], Most importantly, the class of nonassociative algebras has Etherington proved that the zygotic algebra can be obtained closed connections with other branches of mathematics; from the gametic algebra through a commutative duplication also, it has closed connections with quantum mechanics, process. Now, it is interesting to note that there is a class of physics, biology, and other sciences. The crucial part of this algebras which is nonassociative and noncommutative but theory is the theory of nearly associative rings and algebras: possesses many characteristics similar to commutative and Lie, alternative, and Jordan algebras. In short, considering associativealgebrasandhascloserelationswithcommutative nonassociative algebras over real number fields has several algebras. Using notions from these algebras, we give a more applications in biology especially in genetics. Moreover, there general definition of gametic and zygotic algebras. Moreover, are some other classes of nonassociative algebras closely this nonassociative and noncommutative algebra has closed related to genetics which are popular among mathematicians connections with Jordan and flexible algebras. In addition and geneticists for their usefulness in genetics. Generally, to this, if it contains a left identity, then it satisfies the thesetypesofalgebrasarecommutativeandnonassociative. famous Jordan identity and the generalized Jordan identity.
