- Variation means differences among individuals of the same species.
- Variations may be acquired or inherited.
- Chromosomes are hereditary vehicles.
- Chromosomes are in chromatin form during interphase.
- Higher organisms are diploid and have homologous chromosome pairs.
- Autosomes do not determine sex.
- Sex chromosomes determine sex.
- Human females are XX.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
