Why are males more likely to show a phenotype produced by a recessive allele carried on the x chromosome
Males on need one allele as have no Y loci. Females need two of recessive allele to express same phenotype
1 of 13
Explain how it can be seen in genetic trees that a disease is recessive
Parents don't have disease but daughter does. Parents are heterozygous and pass on allele.
2 of 13
Genetic factors which increase diversity
Mutations, meiosis and random fertilisation
3 of 13
How does meiosis increase diversity
Crossing over & Independent segregation
4 of 13
Types of selection
Stabilising, directional, disruptive
5 of 13
Types of speciation
Allopatric (different place) & Sympatric (same place)
6 of 13
Types of isolation
Geographical (area), ecological (inhabits), behavioural (mating), temporal (seasons), mechanical (anatomy),

Population
group of individuals of one species which inhabit the same place at the same time
8 of 13
Community
All the populations of different species living and interacting in a particular place at the same time
9 of 13
Habitat
Place where an organism normally lives and is characterised by the physical conditions and the other organisms that live there
10 of 13
Niche
How an organism fits into the enivronment
11 of 13
Ecology
Study of the inter relationship between organisms and their environment
