Genetic Variation
In this course, Dr Matt Ivory (Cardiff University) introduces genetic variation, covering topics 3.12-3.16, 3.19 and 3.20 in the Pearson Edexcel GCSE Biology (9-1) Specification. We begin by: (i) explaining why there are differences in the inherited characteristics as a result of alleles, explaining key terms in the field (Topic 3.12, 3.13); before (ii) discussing describing and practising monohybrid inheritance using different representations (Topic 3.14, 3.16); before (iii) understanding some complexities of sex-linked inheritance and codominance (Topic 3.15, 3.19); and finally (iv) take a look at the ways that phenotype can vary as a result of genetic and environmental variation (Topic 3.20).
