BLUEPRINT OF LIFE: CHAPTER 2 GENETICS Gregor Mendel’s experiments helped advance our knowledge of the inheritance of characteristics 2.1 GREGOR MENDEL AND THE BIRTH OF GENETICS Gregor Mendel (1822-84) – ‘the father of genetics’ Born in Austria He was an Augustinian monk He worked as a teacher and as an investigator He observed the growth of peas He recorded the ratios of characteristics that appeared in the offspring His discovery stated he observed a pattern in the inheritance of characteristics

Be able to analyse data that show the changing incidence of heart disease in the UK. 6. Know that blood pressure measurements consist of diastolic and systolic data in mmHg. Be able to explain why blood in arteries is under pressure - due to contraction of heart muscles so that blood reaches all parts of the body i.e. the heart acts as

Diffusion of Cell Size 2012 Kayla Szabo Loxton High School 2/20/2012 Rate of Diffusion Practical report Introduction: Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Cells need to utilise diffusion to exchange materials from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell for them to survive. Diffusion is a passive process‚ which means it doesn’t involve the need of energy. For a cell to survive it relies greatly on its size

Osmosis: Diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. 6. Passive Transport: Movement of molecules across the cell membrane without energy input from the cell. 7. Active Transport: Energy requiring movement of molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentrations to a region of higher concentration
