Document Summary

Homologous chromosomes=diploid: one copy from mom, one copy from dad. *allele: alternative forms of the same gene (dominant/recessive) Mendel used pea plants with complete owers( owers w/ both male & female sex organs) Pollen contains the sperm, carpel contains many ovules with eggs. *punnett square ratio shows probable traits, factors segregate & one shows dominance. >dominant typically masks the recessive, but still carries the recessive gene. >if an allele from one parent is mutant, and the other parent supplies a normal gene, progeny will exhibit normal activity. Look at how genes were transmitted all the way back to your predecessors. Two alleles of a gene segregate at meiosis. Different genes assort independently due to random orientation of chromosome pairs at metaphase. Part of gametogenesis in which diploid cells (2n) produce either haploid (n) sperm or eggs. >recombination occurs between maternal & paternal chromosomes to generate unique chromosome sets. >orientation of chromosomes during meiotic divisions dictates which chromosomes a cell receives.
