Inheritance
infoWhy this? Inheritance explains how alleles pass from parents to offspring and how their combinations influence phenotype. Genetic diagrams and probability help us analyse patterns of inheritance and assess the likelihood of inherited traits and disorders.
scheduleWhy now? Earlier work on DNA, mutations, and meiosis allows us to explain genetic crosses rather than simply learn their outcomes. Applying these mechanisms to inheritance prepares us to consider allele frequencies across whole populations in population genetics.
