LAW OF SEGREGATION
![Page 4: Law of segregation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042602/55a597841a28abb2258b4587/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Mendel noticed that certain characteristics appeared to be passed on from parents to offspring, in many species, and wondered why this was so. He also wanted to establish what characteristics were taken from each parent.
For the Mendel Pea Experiment he chose pea plants, because they had some measurable characteristics as well as being easy to breed and with a relatively short breeding period allowing a quick experimental turn-around.
He measured seven of these characteristics, including seed-shape, seed color, pod-color and pod-shape, each occurring in two distinctive forms.
MENDEL’S INITIAL OBSERVATIONS

METHOD
To conduct the experiment, he cross pollinated the selected pea plants by removing the anthers from one flower, to prevent self-fertilization, and dusting pollen from another plant onto the flower.
Initially, he cross-fertilized plants with the same characteristics to ensure that the plants were true-breeding, giving a good baseline for the research.
The next stage was to cross-pollinate plants with different characteristics, such as one with green seed pods to one with yellow seed pods.
These initial plants are called the P (Parental) generation. The resulting offspring, the F1 (Filial generation) were then self pollinated to produce the F2 generation. This self-fertilization continued until the traits were established for many generations.

EXPERIMENTS WITH PEA PLANTES
- Seed coat colour (gray or white)- Seed shape (round or wrinkled)- Seed colour (yellow or green)- Pod colour (green or yellow)- Flower position (axial or terminal)- Pod shape (inflated or constricted)- Stem length (tall or dwarf)

CROSS-POLLINATION OF PUREBRED PLANTS
•cross-pollination between true breeding green and yellow pods•all F1 green
F1 GenerationGg = heterozygous

F2 GENERATION
• self-pollination of green F1 plants• ¾ in F2 green, ¼ yellow• 3 : 1 ratio in pod colour in F2
G = dominant = greeng = recessive = yellowGG,gg=homozygous

MENDEL’S GENERALIZATION
1. Alternative versions of genes account for variations in inherited characters
- concept of alleles (G=green, g=yellow)
2. For each character, an organism inherits two genes, one from each parent
- two gametes form somatic cells- one allele comes from the mother, one from the father
![Page 14: Law of segregation](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042602/55a597841a28abb2258b4587/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. If the two alleles differ, then:• dominant allele is fully expressed in the organism's appearance (phenotype)• recessive allele has no noticeable effect on the organism's appearance (genotype)
4. The two genes for each character segregate during gamete production
- ensures variation

LAW OF SEGREGATION
1. The pair of alleles of each parent separate and only one allele passes from each parent on to an offspring
2. Which allele in a parent's pair of alleles is inherited is a matter of chance
3. Segregation of alleles occurs during the process of gamete formation (meiosis)
4. Randomly unite at fertilization
