Document Summary
Brown eyes vs. blue eyes no longer considered a simple. Mendelian trait (appears to be one where b _ vs. bb); many exceptions to colored eyes. Oca mutations in gene important for predisposition to skin. There are oca associations with eye color. Other snps of oca are associated with eye color in humans. Critical questions about selective breeding before mendel"s studies. People have thought about genetics long before mendel and. Monastery people grow fruits and veggies his peas. How does a single gene segregate in a genetic cross. Although you may breed for a certain coat color (selective breeding); could be related to a particular gene (transversion mutation) Mendel studied the inheritance of alternative traits in pea plants. Knew what went on in the cross (described outcomes) and counted the peas very important. Wrinkled peas formed molecular level (textbook) You have a parental cross and a f1 generation which is the progeny.
