Gene
Chapters (makes one protein)
Genes don’t actually make proteins – they just contain the instructions on how to make
them.
DNA stays in the nucleus but proteins are built in the cell’s cytoplasm.
3.14 understand that a gene is a section of a molecule of DNA and that a gene codes for a specific protein

Alleles give rise to Variation (2)
3.16 understand that genes exist in alternative forms called alleles which give rise to differences in inherited characteristics
Dominant:
A gene allele that ‘expresses’ over another allele in homozygous and
heterozyogus pairs. Shown in phenotype.
B b
Recessive:
A gene allele that only ‘expresses’ when it is matched with another
recessive allele and never when matched with a dominant allele.
Homozygous Recessive. Shown in phenotype

DEFINITIONS OF INHERITANCE TERMS
3.17 understand the meaning of the terms: dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, genotype and co-dominance
Codominance: A single gene has more than one dominant allele and both genes are
expressed.
The meaning of the prefix "co-" is "together". Cooperate = work together. Coexist =
exist together. Cohabitat = habitat together.
Generations
There are the parents, then their offspring, and their offspring, etc. etc.
The first plants or animals bred together are called the Parental generation, or P1 generation.
Their offspring are called the First Filial generation, or F1 generation.
Their offspring are called the Second Filial generation, or F2 generation.

2. If the two plants are heterozygous, they will have a genotype, which contains the alleles Hh.
3. Gametes of individuals contain half of the chromosomes. So only one of the alleles will be
present in each gamete cell.
So there will be 3
tall plants for every
1 small plant. Or to
put it another way,
there is a 75%
chance that each F1
(offspring) plant will
be tall.

Summary
• Pedigrees are family trees that explain your genetic

Meiosis Makes Gametes
3.25 understand that division of a cell by meiosis produces four cells, each with half the number of chromosomes, and that this results in the formation of

3.27 know that in human cells the diploid number of chromosomes is 46 and the haploid number is 23
MITOSIS MEIOSIS
1) Produces 2 daughter cells 1) Produces 4 gamete cells
2) Daughter cells are diploid 2) Daughter cells are haploid

THE SUPERBUGS
3.32 understand that resistance to antibiotics can increase in bacterial populations, and appreciate how such an increase can lead to infections
being difficult to control
2) These mutations can mean that they are no longer affected/controlled by a certain
antibiotic
3) Surviving generations carry the mutation (allele)making it easier for them to survive.
6) These bacteria in turn become resistant to new antibiotics due to the high rate or
reproduction and random mutations
✔
7) Currently some are becoming resistant to all current know antibiotics.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA or golden staph), vancomycin-resistant
Enterococcus (VRE) and multi-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB)
The Makings of a Mutant (TA)
3.33 understand that the incidence of mutations can be increased by exposure to ionising radiation (for example gamma rays, X-rays and
ultraviolet rays) and some chemical mutagens (for example chemicals in tobacco).(TA)

Chemical mutagens
• chemicals in tobacco..Not Nicotine!)
