Document Summary
Mendel"s principles can predict patterns of inheritance. * then examining: experiments with a single trait: explained by the principle of segregation. * then examining: experiments with two traits: explained by the principle of independent assortment. Explained by: the chromosome theory of inheritance. * expanded by: extensions of mendel"s principles: all applied to: human inheritance. Gregor mendel worked out the rules of inheritance through a series of experiments on garden peas. Walter sutton and theodor boveri proposed the chromosome theory of inheritance. Explains how genetic information is transmitted from one generation to the next. Asserted that genes are located on chromosomes. Genetics is the branch of biology that focuses on inheritance. Heredity is the transmission of traits from parents to their offspring. A trait is any characteristic of an individual. Blending inheritance: parental traits blend so that their offspring have intermediate traits. Inheritance of acquired characteristics: parental traits are modified through use and then passed on.
