Document Summary

Genetic notational convention: mendel used a letter to indicate the gene for a particular trait. For example, r represented the gene for seed shape. Lowercase (r) was for a recessive allele: individuals have two alleles of each gene. Two copies of the same allele are homozygous. Rr: pure-line individuals always produce offspring with the same phenotype because they are homozygous. A mating between two pure lines that differ in one trait (rr and rr) results in offspring that all have a heterozygous genotype, rr: a dominant phenotype. The monohybrid cross: a mating of two heterozygous parents, results in offspring that are rr, rr, and rr, produces a 3:1 ratio of phenotypes. Mendel"s genetic model is a set of hypotheses that explain how a particular trait is inherited: explains the results of these crosses. Mendel"s experiments with two traits: mendel used dihybrid crosses.
