What you will learn
✂️ Meiosis: purpose, phases Meiosis I and II, synapsis, bivalents, crossing over, chiasmata, independent assortment, non-disjunction; where it occurs and why it increases variation
🧮 Genetics basics: gene, allele, genotype, phenotype, homozygous vs heterozygous, dominant vs recessive, codominance, incomplete dominance
🌱 Monohybrid and dihybrid crosses: parental genotypes, gametes, Punnett squares, F1 ratios, test cross, probability tips
♀️♂️ Sex linkage and pedigrees: X-linked patterns, carriers, affected males, reading family trees
⚠️ Errors and mutations: non-disjunction Down syndrome, gene mutations point and frameshift, effects on proteins
📝 Memo keywords: crossing over, independent assortment, gametes, genotype, phenotype, probability, test cross, sex-linked, pedigree, non-disjunction
Exam technique — Paper 2
Crosses: always show phenotype → genotype → gametes → cross → F1 ratio
Ratios and probability: simplify neatly, use fractions or decimals where asked
Meiosis drawings: label phase, homologous chromosomes vs chromatids, show crossing over clearly
Pedigrees: state pattern, justify with two clues carriers, affected males, skipping generations
Data questions: quote numbers and units, then conclude with a statement that links back to the hypothesis
