    This document provides a checklist for a genetics standard that covers genetic variation and change. It outlines four units: 1) genetic variation, 2) monohybrid inheritance, 3) dihybrid inheritance, and 4) genetic populations. Each unit lists the key concepts and skills students should understand by the end of the unit, such as identifying mutations, discussing meiosis, defining genetic terms, solving Punnett squares, calculating expected genotype ratios, and explaining natural selection, genetic drift and how they impact populations. The checklist allows students to track their understanding of the concepts covered in the standard.

    Genetic Variation Checklist

    AS91157- Demonstrate understanding of genetic variation and change


    In order to achieve Excellence in this standard you are required to: Demonstrate
    comprehensive understanding which involves linking biological ideas about
    genetic variation and change. The discussion of ideas may involve justifying,
    relating, evaluating, comparing and contrasting, or analysing.
    This checklist is designed for you to use when you are studying this standard.
    Tick the boxes as you go to establish which concepts you know and which you
    may need to revise.

    Unit 1: Genetic variation

    By the end of this unit you should be able to:


    Identify the different types of mutations that can occur
    Discuss how mutations can lead to genetic variation
    Describe the basic process of what happens in meiosis (specific names
    for phases is not necessary)
    Discuss the three ways that meiosis can contribute to increasing
    genetic variation in offspring.
    Discuss how sexual recombination (fertilisation) can increase genetic
    variation.
    Use the terms phenotype, genotype, homozygous and
    heterozygous correctly with confidence.

    Unit 2: Monohybrid Inheritance


    By the end of this unit you should be able to:
    Define monohybrid inheritance
    Differentiate between complete dominance, incomplete dominance
    and co-dominance from given examples.
    Discuss the differences between complete dominance, incomplete
    dominance and co-dominance with respect to expected phenotype
    ratios.
    Draw and complete a Punnett square to determine genotype ratios and
    phenotype ratios of offspring.
    Explain what occurs during a test-cross and the purpose for using a test
    cross.
    Explain what multiple alleles are and give an example
    Explain what lethal alleles are and discuss how we know when lethal
    alleles are present for a gene (hint: refer to phenotype ratios).
    Solve problems involving pedigree charts and Punnett squares.

    Unit 3: Dihybrid Inheritance


    By the end of this unit you should be able to:
    Define dihybrid inheritance

    Explain the difference between no linkage and linkage between genes


    in dihybrid inheritance
    Calculate the expected genotype ratio for non-linkage between two
    genes (cross two organisms that are heterozygous for both traits)
    Describe what linkage is and how it occurs
    Solve problems to determine whether there is linkage or no linkage
    between genes in a dihybrid cross and discuss why you know this.

    Unit 4: Genetic populations


    By the end of this unit you should be able to:
    Define gene pool, genetic population, genetic change and evolution.
    Calculate genetic change in a population using appropriate formulae.
    Discuss natural selection and its effect on genetic populations with
    reference to examples.
    Discuss sexual selection and its effect on genetic populations with
    reference to examples.
    Discuss artificial selection and its effect on genetic populations with
    reference to examples.
    Discuss how migration has an effect on genetic populations
    Describe what the bottle neck effect AND founder effect are and
    discuss the effects they have on allele frequencies.
    Discuss genetic drift and its effect on genetic populations with
    reference to allele frequencies.
