- Darwin: Natural selection via favourable variations
- Dynamic not static
- Common Ancestry
- Variation & Competition : NOT survival of the fittest
- IF genetic - this will be hereditary
- Heritability - the amount of variability in a trait
- ConcordanceResearch on twins
- Identical Twins MZ closer linked
- Fraternal Twins DZ (Non Identical)
- Crick & Watson : DNA
- Mendel: Genetic dominance / recession
- Dominant Allele vs Recessive Allele
- Genetics: DNA: Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine
- G+C, A+T
- Genes are located on chromosomes : Recipes for protein expression
- 46 chromosomes (23 Mum, 23 Dad)
- Mendel: Genetic dominance / recession
- Dominant Allele vs Recessive Allele
- Genetic Diversity
- Sex & Race linked genes
- Mutations & Chromosomal Abberations
- Downs Syndrome
- Fragile X
- Huntingdons
- Phenylketonuria
- Downs Syndrome
- EpiGenetics- external occurrences such as drug use / trauma, effecting the expression of genes- affecting the genetic structure and gene production

- Mendel: Genetic dominance / recession
- Genotype: genetic make up
- Phenotype: Physical characteristics
