Student Notes Outline
Taking efficient notes can be a big challenge for many students, especially when working from a Powerpoint lecture. This outline gives students a means to take notes that guides them toward important concepts and avoids the pitfalls of writing word-for-word or simply not taking notes at all. The outline is written as a series of questions, fill-in-the-blanks, or diagrams.
Essential concepts: Genetics, heredity, Gregor Mendel, hybridization, dominant traits, recessive traits, genes, chromosomes, DNA, alleles, locus, Punnett square, homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, genotype, testcross, law of segregation, monohybrid cross, dihybrid cross, law of independent assortment, probability, complete dominance, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles, codominance, pleiotropy, epistasis, polygenetic inheritance, pedigree, sex-linked trait.
