Describe that different sequences of amino acids give different shapes to protein molecules
Describe that different sequences of amino acids give different shapes to protein molecules
Describe that the sequence of bases in a gene determines the sequence of amino acids needed to make a specific protein (knowledge of the details of nucleotide structure is not required)

Investigate and describe examples of continuous and discontinuous variation
Investigate and describe examples of continuous and discontinuous variation
Describe that discontinuous variation is usually caused by genes only and continuous variation is caused by genes and the environment
