Genetics and Society Pupil Learning Outcomes I can define the terms fertilisation, species, variation and chromosome, gene, genotype, phenotype, dominant and recessive. I can relate my understanding of the process of fertilisation to the passing on of chromosomes. I understand continuous and discontinuous variation I can give examples of continuous and discontinuous variation I can define the term allele and give examples of alleles for different characteristics. I can define the terms allele, genotype, phenotype, dominant and recessive. I can use the terms allele, genotype, phenotype, dominant and recessive. I can apply my understanding of inheritance I understand genetic terminology and can identify vital information for a monohybrid cross. I can identify if parents are true breeding or homozygous by carrying out a back cross. I can carry out a monohybrid cross to the F2 generation and state the genotype, and phenotypic ratio produced. I can state why the observed and predicted results of inheritance are different. I can state what a mutation is. I know the factors which increase the rate of mutations. I can state the advantages in mutations in a polyploidy plant. I some chromosomal disorders caused by mutations. I can state that the nucleus controls all the cells activities. I can state that cell division results in the increase in the number of cells in an organism. I can state that when a cell divides two new identical daughter cells are produced. I know what the human chromosome complement is I can state why the chromosome complement in daughter cells must be maintained I can describe the stages in cell division. I can state that cell division is essential to allow organisms to grow and repair damaged parts, e.g. cuts, bones and broken bones. I know that there are many types of cancer I can state that Cancer is a disease of cells which develops due to damage to DNA I understand that there are preventable causes of cancer (e.g. smoking, sun exposure, diet) and non-preventable causes (e.g. inherited predisposition, old age) I can state that most cases of cancer occur in people over 65 I know that the chances of survival increase with early detection and treatment I can state that cancer is the uncontrolled division of cells in an organism. I can state what stem cells are. I know how different types of stem cells are produced. I understand how they could be used. I can us different research methods to find and record relevant information I can work effectively in a group I can contribute effectively to a discussion on a controversial topic I can discuss and debate issues as well as expressing an opinion
