Genetics
Genetics- study of heredity
1. Punnett Squares
2. Human Genetics
3. Pedigree
4. Blood Typing
5. Forensics
Heredity- passing of genes from parent to offspring.
Gregor Mendel- Austrian Monk, 1850’s
- Studied pea plants
- Father of Genetics
- Lived in a monastery and studied to be a priest
Traits- characteristics that can be passed from parent to
offspring.
Examples
- Tongue rolling
- Widows peak
- Earlobes
Genes- part of the chromosome that contains the
hereditary information.
Sexual Reproduction- two parents give genetic material
to produce offspring that is genetically different from the
parents.
Advantages of Sexual Reproduction
- Genetic variation/diversity
- More likely to survive environmental change
