Transmission and expression of characteristics in organisms: NECO Biology Past Questions and Answers
What the WAEC syllabus covers in Transmission and expression of characteristics in organisms
Our summary: Which characters are inherited, and Mendel's experiments and laws.
- Hereditary variation (Reference should be made to characters that can be transmitted from generation to generation such as colour of skin, eye, hair, blood group, sickle cell, shape of face and nose.)
- Mendel's work in genetics: Mendel's experiments; Mendelian traits; Mendelian laws (Mendel's experiment with red and white flowered peas should be mentioned. Mendel's experiment on monohybrid and dihybrid inheritance should be mentioned. Reference should be made to dominant and recessive characters in plants and animals.)
