What to Focus On
- Each generation inherits traits from previous generation plus creates new variations
- Asexual reproduction produces minimal variation through DNA copying errors
- Sexual reproduction creates greater diversity through genetic combination
- Children inherit basic species characteristics from parents
- Visible variations exist within human populations
- Some traits like earlobe type can be easily studied
- Each trait is controlled by two copies of genes (one from each parent)
- Dominant traits mask recessive traits in expression
- F1 generation shows only dominant traits
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Dominant traits are always more common in a population than recessive traits
In Mendel's F2 generation, the ratio is always exactly 3:1 in any cross
Sex of a child is determined by the mother because she carries the baby
