Genetics and Heredity

Genes are sections of DNA and alleles are alternative forms. Offspring inherit genetic information from parents, while mutations can generate new variation.

What to remember

  • DNA carries genetic information.
  • Genes occupy locations on DNA.
  • Alleles are alternative gene forms.
  • Mutations can create new alleles.
  • Genotype contributes to phenotype.

Key words

DNA — molecule carrying genetic information
gene — DNA section with functional role
allele — alternative gene form
genotype — genetic constitution
phenotype — observable characteristics
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 25 attempts on the same browser.
