A feature that changes gradually over a range of value e.g height or weight

Question 4

What is a discontinuous variation

Answer 4

You fit into one group or another and the feature doesn’t change during your lifespan e.g. hair colour, eye colour, blood type

Question 5

What is discontinuous variation controlled by

Answer 5

Controlled by genes only

Question 6

What is continuous variation controlled by

Answer 6

Controlled by genes and environment

Question 7

What is environment variation

Answer 7

The environment conditions that an organism lives and grows in causes differentiation between organisms

Question 8

What is genetic variation

Answer 8

Are characteristics that are determined by the genes inherited from their parents

Question 9

What is a advantage and disadvantage of asexual reproduction

Answer 9

Advantage- only one parent needed and all offspring’s are clones
Disadvantage- no variation between offspring

Question 10

What is and advantage of sexual reproduction

Answer 10

Advantage- variation between offspring
Disadvantage- need two parents, mutations

Question 11

What is sexual reproduction

Answer 11

Sexual reproduction is when two parents create offspring with a mix of their genes.

Question 12

What is asexual offspring

Answer 12

Asexual reproduction creates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent.

Question 13

What is an advantage and disadvantage of sexual reproduction

Answer 13

• Good: Variety in offspring.
• Bad: Needs two parents

Question 14

What is asexual reproduction advantage and disadvatage

Answer 14

• Good: Fast reproduction.
• Bad: Offspring all the same.

Question 19

Wha dis discontinuous variation

Answer 19

You got into one group or another and the feature doesn’t change during your lifespan

Question 20

Question 21

What is discontinuous variation controlled by

Answer 21

Controlled by genes only

Question 22

Answer 23

Having an advantage over other organisms allowing you to survive

Question 24

What is the scientist responsible for evaluation

Answer 24

Charles Darwin

Question 25

What is genetic variation

Answer 25

Are characteristics that are determined by the genes inherited from their parents

Question 26

What is environmental variation

Answer 26

The environmental conditions that an organisms lives and grows in causes differentiation between organisms

Variation

Question 32

What repro diction involves only one parent

Answer 32

Asexual reproduction

Question 33

What is a genetic mutation

Answer 33

A random change in the dna sequence

Question 34

What is a recessive disorder

Answer 34

A genetic disorder that only appears when an individual has two copies of a mutated gene

Question 35

What does extinct mean

Answer 35

No longer existing

Question 36

What is a person that has CF and doesn’t have CF

Answer 36

Hasn’t- BB or Bb Has- bb

Question 37

Name me the 6 marker on evaluation

Answer 37

1. All ( type) show variation caused by a mutation in there gene. 2. Some have (benefit) and some don’t not 3. The ones with the ( benefit) were able to survive whereas the ones without (benefit) could not. 4. This is known as survival of the fittest the ones with (benefit) were able to breed and pass on the (benefit) gene to their offspring 5. This continues over generations increasing the number of individuals worth beneficial gene in a population.
