A structure in animal, plant and fungi cells that stores the genetic material (DNA).

A large chemical molecule made of smaller chemical groups, it carries the genetic code of all living organisms.

A short section of DNA that carries the genetic code to provide instructions for an inherited feature or process.

All of the DNA of an organism that codes for and controls the inherited features and processes.

The genome

Combined science

Pupils will learn about dominant and recessive alleles, and how to use models of single gene inheritance to make predictions about the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring.

Pupils learned about flower structure, wind and insect pollination, fertilisation, seed and fruit formation and dispersal.

DNA and the genome

Genetic material is stored in the {{}} of plant and animal cells.

Put these in size order, starting with the smallest.

True or false? The more similar the species, the more similar their genomes.

Sofia: Non-coding DNA are part of the genome.

Andeep: Non-coding sections of DNA are not genes.

Jacob: Non-coding sections of DNA are genes.

Lucas: Non-coding DNA are found between genes.

All living organisms are made up of {{}}.

Which of the following is **NOT** a life process?

True or false? Genetic information provides the instructions for life processes.
