Principles of Inheritance and Variation
Biology Solutions from Chapter -1 - Principles of Inheritance and Variation
Have you ever wondered why the offspring are similar to their parents? This chapter helps us find the answer through Mendel’s law of inheritance. It also describes sex determination, mutation and genetic disorders in detail.
Practice Other Topics from Principles of Inheritance and Variation
In this topic, we will learn about the inheritance of one gene and inheritance of two genes. Principles of inheritance are also discussed here.
This topic explains the experiment of Mendel’s inheritance of one gene along with a schematic representation. Further, it gives a detailed explanation of the law of inheritance.
This topic describes Mendel’s inheritance of two genes. Mendel carried out his experiment with pea plants having two different characters. Further, it explains the law of independent assortment and chromosomal theory of inheritance.
This topic covers concepts, such as, Deviation from Mendelism, Pleiotropy & Polygenic Inheritance etc.
This topic discusses the determination of sex in insects, humans and honeybee with supportive diagrams.
Mutation is the sudden change in the DNA sequences, which result in the changes in the genotype and phenotype of an organism. This topic defines mutation and briefs the factors that induce mutation.
Genetic disorders are the diseases that are transmitted from one generation to other without any alteration. This topic discusses Mendelian disorders and chromosomal disorders.
