what I don't know for SG
  1. AS
    1. topic 3
      1. fertilisation in flowering plants:pollen grain is attracted by chemicals from the ovule and grows in a pollen tube towards it. when it gets there, one nucelus fuses with the female gamete and the other two go on to make the endosperm
        1. fertilisation in mammals: sperm are attracted to the chemical releasedby the egg, when the sperm reach the egg the acrosome reaction is triggered by chemicals from the follicle cells on the ovum. This causes the acrosome to swell and fuse with the sperm csm which released digestive enzymes that eat the zona pellucida. After this the sperm can fuse with the egg's csm. once this happens and the sperm's nucleus enters, lysosomes in the ovum release enzymes that thicken the zona pellucida so no more sperm can enter
          1. meiosis leads to genetic variation because it recobines alleles in new ways and there is sometimes crossing over where bits of chromasome swap
            1. cell cycle = G1, S,G2,prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
              1. root tip squash = aecetic alcohol ---> ice water ----> heated HCL ----> aecetic alcohol ---> maceration --->blot and look at under microscope
              2. topic 4
                1. Biodiversity is the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem
                  1. Endemism is when an organism is Prevalent in or peculiar to a particular locality
                2. A2
                  1. DNA profiling relies on introns which are sections of DNA that dont code for proteins and can therefore be different without affecting the person
                    1. within introns short dna sequences are repeated many times. the sequences are known as short tandem repeats (STRs). They can range from 2 to 50 base pairs and be repeated from 5 to several hundred times. The same STRs occur at the same place on both chromosomes of a homologous pair but the number of times they are repeated can be different. The number of repeats at a locus also varies between people
                      1. each person has a large number of introns with lots of STR loci. There is a large variation in the number of repeats at each locus. This means that no one has the same combination of STRs and we can create a unique DNA profile
