POINTS TO REMEMBER:

1.HEREDITY: Transmission of features or characters from one generation to another or from parents to offspring through their genes

2.VARIATION: It occurs due to sexual reproduction, inaccuracies during DNA replicating (mutation) and due to environmental factors.

3.GENETICS: Branch of biology dealing with the study of heredity and variations.

4.ALLELES :There is one pair of alleles which can express itself whether present in homozygous state or heterozygous state. Eg – T (tallness in pea plant), R(round seeds in pea plant)

5.GREGOR JOHANN MENDEL:- (1822-1884): He is known as the father of ‘genetics’. He worked on Sweet pea plant(pisum sativum).

6.GENOTYPE: genetic composition of an individual, eg – pure tall-TT, hybrid tall-Tt

7.PHENOTYPE: Visible traits of an individual. Eg – Tallness or Dwarfness.

8.EVOLUTION: gradual changes in traits of organisms from pre existing organisms is called evolution.

9.SPECIATION: It may take place when variation is combined with geographical isolation. (Formation of new species)
