Document Summary

Gregor mendel- father of genetics, studied pea plants. True-breeding=always gives the same trait studied pea plants. Conclusions;; we inherit discrete units from our parents. F2= generation alleles/genes are what the color of the flower is. Law of segregation = two copies of a gene segregate from each other during transmission to offspring, so each version ends up in different gametes. Alleles different of alternative forms of a gene. Separation of the homologous chromosomes during anaphase 2. Subsequent separation of sister chromatids during anaphase ii. Recessive allele- no effect on appearance; gets masked by another allele. Phenotype= the visible appearance of the organism for a given trait vs. Genotype= genetic makeup of the organism, what alleles it carries. Heterozygous= 2 different alleles for a gene vs. If you don"t know the genotype of something . Homozygous recessive individual is chosen to mate with the unknown.
