Topic 6: Inheritance, Variation and Evoloution
Reproduction
-
Asexual
Mitosis
-
- Extra mitochondria and other subcellular organelles replicate
-
- Two sets of chromosones pulled to opposite ends of the cell
- Nucleus then divides into two as well as the cytoplasm and the cell membrane making two genetically identical daughter cells

Protein Synthesis
-
-
-
If we alter the sequence of bases in the gene, we can change the protein that the gene makes
- Template is taken from the DNA
-
-
- The specific amino acids are brought to the template by carrier molecules and then added in order
- The long chain folds up giving a unique structure

Genetic inheritance
-
-
-
-
Genetic disorders
-
Cystic Fibrosis
-
If both parents are non-sufferers, but carry the recessive allele, the children have a 25% chance of developing the disease
-
-
-
-
Variation
-
Selective breeding
A method of speeding up natural selection by selecting organisms with desirable characteristics and breeding them to pass down the certain genes
E.g crops that have a good yield, cows with a better milk yield.
ADV and DISADV
Greatly reduces number of alleles in population meaning that if a change in the environment came, such as a disease, the implications of the disease would affect all the organisms the same

Genetic Engineering
Insulin
-
-
-
GM bacteria reproduce rapidly by binary fission and all bacteria produce insulin that can be harvested
Cloning Plants
Tissue culture
Tissue is grown in agar which contains mineral ions and hormones forming a mass known as callus (plant version of embryo)
-
Add another mixture of hormones is then used to stimulate growth in cells to form little, identical plantlets
-
Adult Cell Cloning
- SHEEP B Remove nucleus from unfertilised egg cell
- SHEEP A Nucleus is taken out from a different somatic cell
- The nucleus from the adult cell is inserted into the enucleated egg cell
- New cell received a small shock to start dividing by mitosis
- Cloned embryo is inserted into a surrogate
-
Speciation
-
Species
A group of organisms with similar behaviours and characteristics that can breed together and produce fertile offspring
Speciation is where a population inside of a species becomes so different that it can no longer interbreed with other populations of the 'same species'
Causes for Speciation
Geographical isolation
A species becomes sepearated as a result of geographical isolation e.g earthquake, continental drift etc
The two species have different variation or mutations whihc may or may not be suited to their new environment
Natural selection occurs; the ones with the most suited genes survive and reproduce, passing them on
Over time, two different species evolve

Fossils
Hard parts of an organism do not decay, so through mineralisation by being replaced by minerals they become fossils. Sometimes, organisms don't decay by decomposers due to lack of either warmth, oxygen or moisture
Extinction

4) Introduction of a new, more successful competitor
