Turn your inheritance and variation notes into a mind map

Short notes on inheritance and variation, mapped out

Short notes on inheritance and variation are easiest to review when they are laid out as a branching picture. A mind map of short notes on inheritance and variation puts Mendel's laws, dominant and recessive alleles, and the causes of variation on one page, so you can see how each principle connects to the next.

• Keep one principle per branch, with its ratio or example beside it.
• Use the map to explain why variation arises, not just to list terms.
• Redraw the map from a blank page to check what you actually remember.
• Compare your map with the original notes and fix any missing links.
