Bio 102 week 6 chapter 13 mendel and the gene. Describe mendel"s principles of segregation and independent assortment. Use mendelian ratios to predict the genotypic and phenotypic outcomes of crosses between parents of known genotype as well as to determine the unknown genotypes of parents based on the phenotypic ratios of their offspring. Explain how mendel"s principles refuted the prevailing hypotheses about inheritance at the time. Determine the pattern of inheritance of a trait based on a pedigree. Chromosome theory: explained how genetic info is transmitted from on generation to the next. Mendel laid the groundwork for the theory in 1865 used garden peas to work through rules of inheritance. Chromosome theory of inheritance of 1902 by sutton and boveri linked results of mendels peas & meiosis: theory stated that meiosis causes the patterns of inheritance & that hereditary factors called genes are located on chromosomes.
