12/18/13
Objective: Who was Gregor Mendel and what were his contributions to genetics?
Do Now:
Why is there so much variation in sexually reproducing organisms?

TraitsTraits: a variation of a particular
character (ex: blue eyes or brown eyes)

Blending Hypothesis- A hypothesis to explain
inheritance What color flower might you expect to
get if you crossed a red and yellow flowered plant?
- Blending of parental traits

Gregor Mendel- The first scientist to experiment
with inheritance
Genetics: the study of heredity

Particulate Hypothesis
- Parents pass on to their offspring separate and distinct factors (genes) responsible for inherited traits

Pure-breeding
- Mendel used true-breeding pea plants to experiment with genetics (purple flowers produce purple flowers)

Hybrids
- The offspring of 2 different true breeding varieties (ex: a purple and a white flower)

Parental plants = p generation
Hybrid offspring are called the:
First filial = F1 generation
When the F1 plants self-fertilize or fertilize each other they are the
Second filial = F2 generation

• Alleles: - alternative forms of genes (ex: purple flower
or white flower) - - 2 alleles for the gene, one from each parent
• Homozygous: an individual with two of the SAME alleles
• Heterozygous: an individual with two DIFFERENT alleles

• Dominant: A trait that will appear in the offspring if one parent contributes it, capital letter (B= Brown eyes)
• Recessive: a trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in the offspring, lower case letter (b= blue eyes)

• Crossing 2 parent plants that differ in only one character (trait)

• Law of segregation: When a parent forms sex cells (egg or sperm), the parent’s gene pairs separate, so the sex cells carry only 1 allele for a particular trait
• Law of independent assortment: Each gene ppair for a trait is inherited independently of the gene pairs for all other traits.
• Law of Dominance: Each allele modifies the phenotype to some degree, producing a blended trait
