Topic #4
The following concepts are important from the topic, make sure that you have them in your notes!
18. What are genetics
19. What is continious and discrete variation, how are they similar and different
20. How are some traits dominant and some recessive, how do they work together to determine if offspring are give certain traits. Calculate the probability of offspring receiving certain traits using a Punnitt square.
21. Nature versus nurture, how does each impact development and how
22. What is a mutagen and what are mutations
