Heredity - From Parent to Progeny

IMPORTANT

Science Solutions from Chapter -1 - Heredity - From Parent to Progeny

Through this chapter, we will understand the concept of heredity and evolution. It highlights the terms variations, phenotype, genotype and progeny. It also discusses the expression of traits, sex determination, Darwinism and speciation.

This topic explains the introduction of new characters in each generation. It further includes several activities to explain the generalization of characters in plants. It also covers tables to inform us about dominant characters.

In this topic, we will discuss the reasons for choosing the pea plant by Mendel for his experiment. We will also discuss the hypothesis made by him for his experiment. In addition, we will discuss the results drawn by him from the experiment.

Science>Biology>Heredity - From Parent to Progeny>Transmission and Expression of Traits

Through this topic, we will learn about the law of segregation. We will also discuss Mendel's law of dominance. Furthermore, it describes the role of DNA and RNA in controlling the expression of a character.

Science>Biology>Heredity - From Parent to Progeny>Sex Determination in Human Beings

From this topic, we will know the number of chromosomes present in a human cell. We will further discuss how these chromosomes help in the sex determination of a baby. It also includes a flow chart for a better understanding.

Science>Biology>Heredity - From Parent to Progeny>Evolution and Theories of Evolution

This topic includes an activity to describe the variation in a beetle population. It also teaches us about acquired and inherited characters. Moreover, it covers Darwin's theory of evolution in a nutshell.

This topic discusses Speciation, a process of formation of new species after the accumulation of variation in the parent species. These changes can occur by genetic drift, natural selection and diverse environmental conditions.

This topic discusses the various evidences of evolution in detail. Here, it presents the embryological support for evolution. Further, it explains homologous and analogous evolution.

This topic talks about human evolution. We will learn about the diversity in the human species and notice that humans were called homosapiens in history. It also explains the migration of people from time to time.
