  • Stages of mitosis

    Mitosis stages: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase; results in two identical diploid daughter cells.

  • Stages of meiosis

    Meiosis stages: Meiosis I (Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I) and Meiosis II (Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II); produces four haploid gametes.

  • Products of mitosis vs meiosis

    Mitosis produces two diploid identical cells; meiosis produces four haploid genetically diverse gametes.

  • Allele

    An allele is a variant form of a gene found at a specific locus on a chromosome.

  • Homozygous vs heterozygous

    Homozygous: two identical alleles; heterozygous: two different alleles for a gene.

  • Dominant vs recessive allele

    Dominant allele expresses its trait when present; recessive allele expresses only if two copies are present.

  • Genotype vs phenotype

    Genotype is the genetic makeup; phenotype is the observable trait or characteristic.

  • Monohybrid cross

    A monohybrid cross uses a Punnett square to predict offspring genotypes and phenotypes for one gene.

  • Incomplete dominance

    Incomplete dominance results in a blended phenotype when heterozygous (e.g., red + white = pink).

  • Co-dominance

    Co-dominance shows both alleles fully expressed in heterozygotes (e.g., blood type AB).

  • Polygenic inheritance

    Polygenic inheritance involves multiple genes contributing to a single trait (e.g., skin color).

  • Solving genetic pedigrees

    Use family history and inheritance patterns to determine genotypes and predict traits in pedigrees.

  • Punnett squares for X-linked alleles

    Use Punnett squares considering males (XY) and females (XX) to predict inheritance of X-linked traits.

  • Types of chromosome abnormalities

    Includes deletions, duplications, inversions, translocations, and aneuploidy (e.g., Down syndrome).

  • Types of genetic disorders

    Disorders can be autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked, or chromosomal with characteristic symptoms.

  • Theory of Evolution

    The theory of evolution explains species change over time through natural selection and genetic variation.

  • Types of comparative anatomy

    Includes homologous structures (common ancestry), analogous structures (similar function), and vestigial organs (reduced function).

  • Types of genetic drift

    Genetic drift includes bottleneck effect and founder effect, causing random allele frequency changes in populations.

  • Gene flow

    Gene flow is the transfer of alleles between populations through migration.

  • Common ancestry between humans and primates

    Humans and primates share a recent common ancestor, supported by genetic and anatomical evidence.

  • Evolutionary pathway from Sahelanthropus tchadensis to Homo sapiens

    Shows gradual changes in brain size, bipedalism, and tool use leading to modern humans.
