Document Summary
Chapter 3: discovery of the basic principles of heredity. Gregor mendel was the founder of modern genetics. Mendel first discovered the principles of heredity by crossing different varieties of pea plants and analyzing the pattern of transmission of traits in subsequent generations. A genetic factor (region of dna) that helps determine a characteristic. One of two or more alternate forms of a gene. Specific place on a chromosome occupied by an allele. Set of alleles possessed by an individual organism. An individual organism possessing two different alleles at a locus. An individual organism possessing two of the same alleles at a locus. At each locus, a diploid organism possesses two alleles located on different homologous chromosomes. Genes exist in different versions called alleles. One allele encodes round seeds, and a different allele encodes wrinkled seeds. Different alleles for a particular gene occupy the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
