Genetics: the study of the traits of organisms. Gregor Mendel-is known as the father of modern genetics. Gregor Mendel 1822-1884 Mendel's genius was that he noticed differences in peas being grown in his garden and applied the scientific method to determine the cause of these differences. He published a paper in 1865 with these three conclusions to his research: He published a paper in 1865 with these three conclusions to his research: • Principle of Dominance and Recessiveness - One factor in a pair may mask the effect of the other. He published a paper in 1865 with these three conclusions to his research: • Principle of Dominance and Recessiveness - One factor in a pair may mask the effect of the other. • Principle of Segregation - The two factors for a characteristic separate during the formation of eggs and sperm. He published a paper in 1865 with these three conclusions to his research: • Principle of Dominance and Recessiveness • • - One factor in a pair may mask the effect of the other. Principle of Segregation - The two factors for a characteristic separate during the formation of eggs and sperm. Principle of Independent Assortment - The factors for different characteristics are distributed to reproductive cells independently. • At the time of Mendel's work, chromosomes and the process of mitosis and meiosis (blending of traits) were unknown. Could this relate to your life? • At the time of Mendel's work, chromosomes and the process of mitosis and meiosis were unknown. • Mendel's work was considered obscure and unimportant until 1900, when Walter Sutton proposed the Chromosome Theory. Important genetic terms: • Genotype - the genetic makeup of an • • • organism. Phenotype - the external appearance of an organism. Homozygous trait - the genes for that trait are the same. Heterozygous trait - the genes for that trait are not the same. More Important genetic terms: • Monohybrid cross - a cross between • • • • individuals with one pair of contrasting genes. Dihybrid cross - a cross between individuals with two pairs of contrasting genes. Parents - the two organisms whose genes produce offspring. F1 generation - the offspring from parents. F2 generation - the offspring produced by crossing two F1 individuals.
