Document Summary
7 traits: traits do not behave in way mendelian traits did, phenotype. Lots more purple flowers when white and purple mated. Prediction if making a reading between two animals: law of segregation of alleles. 2 alleles of trait separate when forming gametes. Each allele has 50:50 chance of moving to either gamete. Turns out to be more complicated than this but still applies to lots of alleles and genes: law od independent assortment. Separation of alleles for one trait do not affect separation of alleles for another trait. Much more complicated but the traits he chose acted this way. Chromosomes: carry genetic material, located in nucleus of eukaryotes, consist of proteins and dna (highly organized, homologous pairs. One from mom, one from dad: diploid, somatic cells. Mitosis: need to have dna replication before it occurs. Meiosis- separation of gamete cells (egg and sperm cells: 2 stages. 1 diploid parent cell yields 4 haploid daughter cells.
