Flashcards based on my 1000+ hour obsidian notes folder where I made notes on everything in the AQA specification (including required practicals). Some of these questions are a bit strange, I more focused on the content within them than the question itself but once you get used to it the content makes up for the bad wording. My obsidian folder has more detail on required practicls but i thought that just the conclusion of all of them was sufficient. Use this for getting key wordings correct and helping to blurt out whole sections of the content. Happy cramming!!
| Front | 3.3.4 Explain the factors affecting transpiration? |
| Back | Light = more light causes stomata to open, increasing evaporation due to more surface areaTemperature = higher kinetic energy therefore more evaporationHumidity = reduces the water potential gradient deceasing evaporationWind = maintains a steep water potential gradient increasing evaporation |
| Front | 3.7.1 Monohybrid definition? |
| Back | Genetic inheritance cross of a characteristic determined by one gene |
| Front | 3.4.3 Describe crossing over? |
| Back | Non sister chromatids in a pair of homologous chromosomes become twisted around each other (bivalent)At each chiasmata equal lengths of non-sister chromatids are exchangedResults in new combinations of alleles on the chromatidsHeterozygous = inherit two different versions of the same gene from both paternal and maternal chromosomesHomozygous = inherit the same gene from both maternal and paternal chromosomes |
