What is heredity?
Heredity is the passing on of traits from parents to offspring through asexual or sexual reproduction.
What is the study of heredity called?
Genetics.
Define genotype.
Genotype is the complete set of genes within an organism's genome.
Define phenotype.
Phenotype is the complete set of observable traits of an organism's structure and behavior.
How does the environment affect phenotype? Give an example.
Phenotype arises from the interaction of genotype with environment. For example, suntanned skin results from genotype and sunlight, and is not inherited.
What molecule encodes genetic information?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
What are the four types of bases in DNA?
Adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
What is a gene?
A portion of a DNA molecule that specifies a single functional unit.
What are chromosomes?
Long strands of DNA that form condensed structures within cells.
What is a locus?
The specific location of a DNA sequence within a chromosome.
What are alleles?
Different forms of a DNA sequence at a particular locus that vary between individuals.
How do new alleles arise?
Through mutations in DNA sequences.
What is the relationship between alleles and traits?
A mutation in a gene may produce a new allele that can affect the trait controlled by that gene, altering the phenotype.
Are most traits controlled by a single gene?
No, most traits are complex and controlled by multiple interacting genes.
What is epigenetic inheritance?
Heritable changes that cannot be explained by direct changes in DNA sequence, such as DNA methylation or RNA interference.
What problem did Darwin's theory of evolution face regarding heredity?
It lacked an underlying mechanism for heredity; blending inheritance would remove variation too quickly.
What is the role of meiosis in heredity?
Meiosis produces gametes with half the genetic material, ensuring genetic diversity through recombination.
How does fertilisation contribute to genetic diversity?
Fertilisation combines genetic material from two parents, creating unique offspring genotypes.
What is the difference between asexual and sexual reproduction in terms of heredity?
Asexual reproduction produces offspring genetically identical to the parent; sexual reproduction generates genetic variation.
What is the genome?
The complete set of genetic material (all genes) in an organism.
What are homologous chromosomes?
Chromosome pairs, one from each parent, that carry genes for the same traits at corresponding loci.
What is a mutation?
A change in the DNA sequence that can produce new alleles.
