The process starts in the nucleus A gene (section of DNA coding for a protein) unwinds, and the 2 DNA strands making it up unzip Transcription then occurs - one DNA strand is used as a template to make mR...

Okay so, so far you've probably covered a bit about DNA, how it's stored in chromosomes and what genes are for. Inheritance is now simply about how a gene that comes from your mum and a gene that comes fr...

Integrate by parts once to obtain: xe^x - e^x + c

First we notice that y can be written as the product of two functions of x, u = x and v = (3x + 5)^3. This means we can use the product rule to differentiate which is dy/dx = uv' + vu'. We can plug our fu...

The derivative of a function describes the gradient, also known as the slope. In the simplest terms, the slope defines the change in y divided by the change in x. So if there is a large increase in y for ...
