Key Concepts

Differences in characters within closely related

Differences in characters within closely related groups of organisms. They arise during reproduction and are important for survival and evolution. Exa

Three fundamental laws

Three fundamental laws: Law of Dominance (one allele dominates over another in F1 generation), Law of Segregation (alleles separate during gamete form

Cross between two organisms differing

Cross between two organisms differing in one character. F1 generation shows dominant trait, F2 shows 3:1 phenotypic ratio and 1:2:1 genotypic ratio.

Genes are segments of DNA controlling

Genes are segments of DNA controlling trait expression. Alleles are contrasting expressions of the same trait. Homozygous (same alleles) vs Heterozygo

In humans

In humans, sex is determined by X and Y chromosomes. Females have XX, males have XY. The male gamete determines the sex of the offspring.
