| 9.3 Blueprint of Life
| |
|
| |
| 1. Evidence of evolution suggests that the mechanisms of inheritance, accompanied by selection, allow change over many generations
| |
|
| |
| describe, using specific examples, how the theory of evolution is supported by the following areas of study:
| |
|
| |
| * comparative embryology
| |
| * comparative anatomy

|
| |
| ===Other Areas===
| |
|
| |
| 3. Chromosomal structure provides the key to inheritance
| |
|
| |
| * explain the relationship between the structure and behaviour of chromosomes during meiosis and the inheritance of genes
| |
| * explain the role of gamete formation and sexual reproduction in variability of offspring
| |
| * describe the inheritance of sex-linked genes, and alleles that exhibit co-dominance and explain why these do not produce simple Mendelian ratios
| |
| * describe the work of Morgan that led to the understanding of sex linkage
| |
| * explain the relationship between homozygous and heterozygous genotypes and the resulting phenotypes in examples of co-dominance
| |
| * outline ways in which the environment may affect the expression of a gene in an individual
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| 5. Current reproductive technologies and genetic engineering have the potential to alter the path of evolution
| |
|
| |
| identify how the following current reproductive techniques may alter the genetic composition of a population:
| |
| * artificial insemination
| |
| * artificial pollination
| |
| * cloning
| |
|
| |
| 5. MacFarlane Burnet’s work in the middle of the twentieth century contributed to a better understanding of the immune response and the effectiveness of immunisation programs
| |
|
| |
| identify the components of the immune response
| |
| * antibodies
| |
| * T cells
| |
| * B cells
| |
|
| |
| 6. Animals that produce vibrations also have organs to detect vibrations
| |
|
| |
| describe the anatomy and function of the human ear, including:
| |
| * pinna
| |
| * tympanic membrane
| |
| * ear ossicles
| |
| * oval window – round window – cochlea
| |
| * organ of Corti – auditory nerve
