Module 5 | Heredity
Content 4: Genetic variation
Lesson 1 | Homologous chromosomes, meiosis, variation and mutation
-
conduct practical investigations to predict variations in the genotype of offspring by modelling meiosis, including the crossing over of homologous chromosomes, fertilisation and mutations (ACSBL084)
Lesson 2 | Monohybrid crosses
-
model the formation of new combinations of genotypes produced during meiosis, including but not limited to:
– interpreting examples of autosomal, sex-linkage, co-dominance, incomplete dominance and multiple alleles (ACSBL085)
– constructing and interpreting information and data from pedigrees and Punnett squares
Lesson 3 | Monohybrid crosses and predicting outcomes using Mendelian ratios
-
collect, record and present data to represent frequencies of characteristics in a population, in order to identify trends, patterns, relationships and limitations in data, for example:
– examining frequency data
– analysing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
Lesson 4 | Co-dominance, incomplete dominance, and multiple alleles and sex-linkage
-
model the formation of new combinations of genotypes produced during meiosis, including but not limited to:
– interpreting examples of autosomal, sex-linkage, co-dominance, incomplete dominance and multiple alleles(ACSBL085)
Lesson 5 | Pedigree charts
-
model the formation of new combinations of genotypes produced during meiosis, including but not limited to:
– constructing and interpreting information and data from pedigrees and Punnett squares
Lesson 6 | Frequency of characteristics in a population
-
collect, record and present data to represent frequencies of characteristics in a population, in order to identify trends, patterns, relationships and limitations in data, for example:
– examining frequency data
– analysing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
