Genetics
The Blending Hypothesis

A Trait _______________________________________________________ such as tall and short

In the early 1800’s many biologists believed in the Blending Hypothesis

Genetics – ____________________________________________________
The Father of Genetics- Gregor Mendel


Gregor Mendel (1822-1884)

Austrian Monk

Pea Plant Experiments
Mendel studied _____________________________________ or “factors” from one generation to
the next

These factors are now called genes

Genes - ____________________________________________________________________
Mendel’s Breeding Experiments


Mendel bred plants for years to ensure that they were true-breeding

True-breeding - means that offspring always ______________________________________

Mendel Cross-fertilized all his pea plants by hand to control which traits he wanted to test
Mendel expected ___________________________

IE: Tall pea x Short pea resulting in Medium height plants
Some Mendelian Conclusions


Mendel and Alleles:

Different forms of a gene are called _________________

We use _________________ to represent Alleles
Law of segregation:


When gametes are made the alleles for a trait separate, so each gamete carries only one
allele for each trait
Law of dominance:

Punnett Squares

Punnett Squares are tools used to determine _______________________________________ from
a genetic cross

Sample Problem


Homozygous – An individual that has ____________________
___________________________________________________


Let’s say you are Mendel. You take a pure-breeding
pea plant that is tall (TT) and you combine it with a
pure-breeding pea plant that is short (tt). What would
their possible offspring be?
Which of the plants in the sample are homozygous?
Heterozygous – An individual that has ___________________
___________________________________________________

Which of the plants in the sample are heterozygous?

Dominant – _________________________________
___________________________________________

Recessive – _________________________________
___________________________________________

If an individual is Homozygous Dominant _________
___________________________________________


If an individual is Heterozygous _________________
___________________________________________

Example: TT = tall
Example: Tt = tall
If an individual is Homozygous Recessive _________

Example: tt = short
