Document Summary
Read end of chapter review of chapter 11, chapter 11, chapter 12. 1 & 12. 2. Models of inheritance for a single gene. She will produce 4 different types of gametes. Mendel brought an approach to science that wasn"t used before. Controlled the crosses determined which flowers pollinated with one. Very careful with the parents were and who the progeny were counted them (he was very qualitative about them. F2 crosses give rise to ratio 3:1. From data and observation mendel was able to think like a scientist make a model to explain what was going on. Mendel believed that traits were coded by different factors. Medel didn"t know about genes, alleles, chromosomes, meosis was making mdels based on observations. Variation in traits due to different alleles. 2 copies of alleles one dominant (determines what the heterozygotes look like) and the other ressesive. Organisms inherit 2 alleles for each trait. So this predicts the result of the cross.
