    4 Describes the variation found in human characteristics.
    5 Explains that the eye colour is inherited from parents.
    6 Explains how sex cells fuse during fertilisation and that this causes mixing of the
    information from the parents which in turn cause variation in characteristics.
    7 Explains how genes are found in the nuclei of cells, how they are transferred from
    parents to offspring and how the genes determine inherited characteristics.
    8 Explains how alleles can be dominant or recessive and how receiving two recessive
    alleles can cause a different characteristic compared with receiving at least one
    dominant allele.
