- Genome: all the DNA
- Inheritance
- Alleles
- alternative forms of gene
- Terms
- dominant, recessive
- homozygous, heterozygous
- genotype, phenotype
- Polygenic inheritance
- many genes
- e.g. height
- Monohybrid crosses
- Punnett square
- 3 : 1 ratio
- Pedigrees and probability
- carriers
- 1 in 4 chance
- Sex determination
- XX female, XY male
- sperm decides
- 50% each
- Alleles
- Cell division, variation and evolution
- Mitosis
- two identical cells
- diploid, 46
- Uses of mitosis
- growth
- repair
- cloning
- asexual reproduction
- Meiosis
- four different cells
- haploid, 23
- makes gametes
- Random fertilisation
- genetic variation
- Variation
- genetic
- environmental
- or both
- Mutation
- rare, random change
- can be inherited
- source of variation
- Natural selection
- variation
- survive and reproduce
- alleles passed on
- Antibiotic resistance
- mutation
- selection pressure
- hard to control
- Mitosis
