Identify the role of environmental factors in the expression of phenotypes.

Distinguish between incomplete dominance, codominance, epistasis, and polygenic inheritance.

Analyze the inheritance patterns of multiple alleles and their impact on phenotypes such as blood types.

Understand the concept of genetic determination and its influence on inherited traits such as diseases.

Flowering Plants

Plants that produce flowers as reproductive structures, capable of developing into fruit and seeds.

Biomarker

Molecular evidence of life in the fossil record. Biomarkers can include fragments of DNA, molecules such as amino acids, or isotopic ratios.

Amino Acids

Organic compounds that combine to form proteins, serving as the building blocks of life and playing a central role in biological processes.

Carbon-13:Carbon-12

This ratio is used in scientific studies to understand various processes such as photosynthesis and to trace the path of carbon through ecosystems due to the distinct signatures of carbon-13 and carbon-12.
