B1 Variation and inheritance
  1. Inherited characteristics
    1. Some human characteristics such as facial features can be inherited. They can be dominant or recessive
      1. Alleles are different versions of the same gene
      2. Chromosomes
        1. Most body have the same number of chromosomes. The number depends on the species of organism. Humans have 23 paris
          1. Sex chromosomes determine sex in mammals. Females have identical sex chromosome called XX, males have different sex chromosomes called XY
            1. A sperm will carry either and X or a Y chromosomes. All eggs will carry and X chromosome
            2. Genetic Variation
              1. Genetic variation is caused by mutations which are random changes in genes or chromosomes
              2. A monohybrid cross
                1. A monohybrid cross involves only one pair of characteristics controlled by a single gene, one allele being dominant and one recessive
                  1. Homeozygous means having identical alleles, heterozygous mean having different alleles
                    1. A persons genotype is their genetic make-up, heterozygous means having different alleles
                    2. Inherited disorders
                      1. They are caused by faulty genes
                        1. Many person and ethical issues are raised; in deciding to have a genetic test, by knowing the risks of passing on and inherited disorder
                          1. Inherited disorders are caused by faulty alleles
