Transcript
**An Austrian monk who was the first person to
observe different inherited traits such as color and
height using the reproduction of pea plants
I’m a monk and I like
peas, darn it !
**In plants, fertilization is called pollination
(pollen from the male meets the female
parts)
 Self-pollination occurs when a plant is
allowed to pollinate itself
 Cross pollination – Different plants
Female
excepts
the pollen
Male Produces
Pollen
**He studied only
one trait at a time
to control the
variables
** He called these
traits factors
He would cross-pollinate plants with two variations of one
trait: For example, this dwarf plant was mated with this tall
plant
P1  Parent Generation
**tall plant mated with a
short plant
Their Offspring (F1)  Filial 1
(1st generation)
**All Tall – allowed to selfpollinate
Their offspring (F2) – Filial 2
(2nd) generation
**3 tall and 1 short
F1 Must carry
the tall AND
the short
“factors”
** Traits are inherited from generation to
generation
** Also, a hybrid is the offspring that inherited both
the tall “factor” and the short “factor”
~ Rule of Unit factors: Two factors (one from each
parent) affect one trait in an individual
~ Rule of Dominance: The observed trait is called
dominant and the trait that cannot be seen is recessive
~ We now call Mendel’s
factors genes and are
found on chromosomes
~ Remember!!! We have a
total of46 chromosomes
•½ from mom and ½ from
dad
~ 44 are called autosomal
chromosomes and 2 are
called sex chromosomes
(X’s and Y’s)
** We call the alternate forms of a gene alleles
** Alleles inherited from the mother are in red. Those
inherited from the father in blue.
Homologues;
Same
chromosome
from each
parent; Just
different forms
of alleles
“A” Alleles
aA are different,
or alternate, forms
of the “A” gene
D Alleles
T Alleles

Genotype  pair of alleles denoted by
letters
› TT = homozygous dominant (Upper Case)
› Tt = heterozygous (hybrid, carrier…the
recessive “t” is not expressed; the “T”
dominnates over the “t”; the “t”
cannot be seen
› tt = homozygous recessive

Phenotype  how the alleles are
expressed; what it “looks” like; such as tall
and short or even a genetic disease or
abnormality (like polydactyl fingers)
BB
Homozygous
Dominant
bb
Homozygous
Recessive
Remember!! Combination of alleles denoted by
using a capital letter for dominant alleles and
lower case letters for recessive traits

Principle of Segregation:
What it means: each gene has two copies (alleles)
and a parent will give only one copy to a child. The
other parent will give another copy, and thus the
child will receive two copies (alleles)
Segregation of alleles in the production
of sex cells
Principle Independent Assortment: Genes for
different traits may assort independently of one another in
gamete production  Leads to genetic diversity
What it means: different genes are inherited
separately. For example, the gene which codes
for eye color is inherited separately from the
gene which codes for nose shape.

Table that shows probability of offspring
having a particular trait

Shows a cross (mating)between a male’s
gamete with the female’s

probabilities of the sexes of the babies?

Determine the genotypes of a parent based on
offspring.

In a Test cross, cross an unknown genotype to a
known recessive (below)


Cross the following and determine the
genotypic and phenotypic ratios:
› Homozygous yellow pod (YY) with
heterozygous yellow pod (Yy)
› 2 heterozygous tall plants (Tt)
› 1 plant with wrinkled seeds (rr) with a plant
that is heterozygous for round seeds (Rr)
› A homozygous dominant purple flower (PP)
with a homozygous white flower (pp)
