A Theory of Heredity Alleles Dominant Recessive Homozygous Heterozygous Genotype Phenotype People believed offspring were a ‘blend’ of their parents’ traits But Mendel said each character is either inherited from the mom or the dad, not a blend of the two http://history.nih.gov/exhibits/nirenberg/images/photos/01_mendel_pu.jpg 1. For each inherited character, an individual has two copies of the gene, one from each parent. http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/ridley/im ages/atomistic.jpg 2. There are alternative versions of genes Known as Alleles http://www.csulb.edu/~kmacd/361-6-Ch1_files/allele.jpg When two different alleles occur together, one of them may be completely expressed, while the other may have no observable effect on the organism’s appearance. Dominant Recessive 3. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/17/Punnett_square_mendel_flowers.sv g/550px-Punnett_square_mendel_flowers.svg.png 4. When gametes are formed, the alleles for each gene in an individual separate independently of one another. So, each gamete only has one allele for each inherited characteristic When fertilized, they contribute one allele. Letters are used to represent alleles Dominant alleles are capital letters Recessive alleles are lower case letters If a gene has two same alleles, then it is called homozygous If a gene has two different alleles, then it is called heterozygous. In heterozygous individuals, which gene is expressed? Dominant or Recessive? What happens to the allele that is not expressed? Does it disappear? Why or why not? Genotype set of alleles that an individual has for a character. Phenotype physical appearance of a character Name the genotype ant the phenotype of these flowers.
