explain the terms gamete, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant and recessive
explain the terms gamete, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant and recessive
explain single gene inheritance, including dominant and recessive alleles and use of genetic diagrams
predict the results of single gene crosses
use direct proportions and simple ratios in genetic crosses
use the concept of probability in predicting the outcome of genetic crosses
recall that most phenotypic features are the result of multiple genes rather than single gene inheritance
Learners are not expected to describe epistasis and its effects
describe the development of our understanding of genetics including the work of Mendel **and the modern-day use of genome sequencing **
describe sex determination in humans
