What to Focus On

  • New individuals are similar but show variation.
  • Asexual reproduction produces only minor differences.
  • Sexual reproduction maximises the number of successful variations.

  • Inherited traits come from both parents.
  • Mendel studied garden peas with contrasting characters.
  • F1 progeny of tall × short plants were all tall.

  • A gene is a DNA section that codes for one protein.
  • Genes control traits through proteins and enzymes.
  • Each organism has two sets of genes, one from each parent.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If a trait is not visible in the F1 generation, it is not inherited at all.

Tallness and shortness mix to produce medium-height plants in inheritance.

A dominant trait is the one that appears more often in the population.
