Inheritance
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
Why do children look like their parents but never exactly the same? The answer lies in the way genes are passed from one generation to the next. Every cell in your body carries a set of instructions written in DNA, and the way those instructions combine at fertilisation determines your inherited characteristics.
In this lesson you will learn how chromosomes carry genes, how dominant and recessive alleles produce different traits, and how to use genetic diagrams and Punnett squares to predict the outcomes of crosses. You will also explore sex determination, the sources of genetic variation, and Darwin's theory of natural selection.
Ebumnobi
- Understand that the nucleus of a cell contains chromosomes on which genes are located
- Understand how genes exist in alternative forms called alleles which give rise to differences in inherited characteristics
- Understand the meaning of the terms: dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, and genotype
- Describe patterns of monohybrid inheritance using a genetic diagram
- Predict probabilities of outcomes from monohybrid crosses
- Understand how the sex of a person is controlled by one pair of chromosomes, XX in a female and XY in a male
- Describe the determination of the sex of offspring at fertilisation, using a genetic diagram
- Understand how random fertilisation produces genetic variation of offspring
- Understand that variation within a species can be genetic, environmental, or a combination of both
- Explain Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection
