method. Describe how this process occurs.

fertilisation and one other method of reproduction.

method. Describe how this process occurs.

fertilisation and one other method of reproduction.

method. Describe how this process occurs.

method. Describe how this process occurs.

method. Describe how this process occurs.

method. Describe how this process occurs.

species.

process of hormonal control of pregnancy and birth in mammals.

fertilisation, implantation and hormonal control of pregnancy and birth in mammals.
15. Describe one or two ways scientists manipulate plant reproduction in agriculture.
16. Describe one or two ways scientists manipulate plant reproduction in agriculture.
17. Evaluate (make a judgment based on criteria) the impact scientific knowledge had
on the manipulation of plant and animal reproduction in agriculture.

IQ2: How important is it for genetic material to be replicated exactly?


1. Define mitosis. Describe the main steps of mitosis and explain the movement of the
chromosomes throughout this process.
2. Define meiosis. Describe the main steps of meiosis and explain the movement of
the chromosomes throughout this process.
3. How are these processes similar and different? resource
4. Explain how you modelled mitosis and meiosis in this course.
5. Describe the Watson and Crick DNA model. Discuss the composition of a
nucleotide in DNA. Describe how the nucleotides pair and how they bond together.
6. Explain how you modelled the Watson and Crick DNA model in this course.
example
7. Explain the process of cell replication. Assess (make a judgement of value) the
process of cell replication has on the continuity of species.
IQ3: Why is polypeptide synthesis important?
1. Describe the form of DNA in eukaryotes. Discuss how you modelled this in the
course.

course.
3. Describe the process of polypeptide synthesis giving its function in the cell.

12. Do you think genes make a significant contribution to phenotypic expression in
organisms? Why or why not?
13. Do you think the environment makes a significant contribution to phenotypic
expression in organisms? Why or why not?
14. Define proteins and give three common examples in living things.
15. Describe the structure of proteins (what does it look like? What is it made of? How
are they organised?).
16. Describe the function of proteins. Give common named examples.

IQ4: How can the genetic similarities and differences within and
between species be compared?
1. Variation in offspring can occur in a variety of ways. Describe the processes that
can cause variation in offspring. Describe how you modelled these processes in the
Biology course.
2. Explain crossing over of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Describe when
this occurs in meiosis and explain how this produces genetic variation in humans.
3. Explain how the process of fertilisation produces genetic variation in humans.
4. Explain how genetic mutations produce genetic variation in humans.
5. Define genotypes.
6. New combinations of genotypes can be produced during meiosis. Examples of this
include: autosomal, sex-linkage, co-dominance, incomplete dominance and multiple
alleles. These patterns can be represented in pedigrees and Punnett squares.
7. How did you collect, record and present data to represent frequencies of
characteristics in a population, in order to identify trends, patterns, relationships and
limitations in data? For example: examining frequency data & analysing single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
IQ5: Can population genetic patterns be predicted with any accuracy?
1. What is DNA sequencing?
2. What is DNA profiling?
3. Explain how these two technologies can be used to determine inheritance patterns
in a population.
4. How did you investigate the use of data analysis from a large-scale collaborative
project to identify trends, patterns and relationships? For example: the use of
population genetics data in conservation management, population genetics studies
used to determine the inheritance of a disease or disorder OR population genetics
relating to human evolution.
