Chapter 8: Heredity focuses on the transmission of traits from parents to offspring. (Note: The topic of Evolution has been removed in the rationalised edition). The chapter explains the rules of inheritance through the pioneering work of Gregor Mendel using pea plants. Students learn about dominant and recessive traits, and how to use Punnett Squares to predict the outcomes of monohybrid and dihybrid crosses. The mechanism of Sex Determination in humans is also explained, clarifying that the father’s chromosomes determine the sex of the child. This chapter lays the groundwork for understanding genetics.
