Document Summary
Chapter 10 the nature of the gene and the genome. Genome: collective body of genetic information that is present in a species, contain all genes to make e organism. 10. 1 the concept of a gene as a unit of inheritance. 1860s: gregor mendel small garden plot for pea plants: his goal was to mate or cross pea plants having different inheritable characteristics and to determine the pattern by which these characteristics were transmitted to offspring. Mendel"s conclusion: characteristics of plants were governed by distinct factors/units of inheritance genes, posses 2 copies of gene that control development of traits (identical or non-identical) Allele - alternate forms of gene: each reproductive cell/gamete produced by plant contained 1 copy of gene for each traits recessive or dominant, from male and female gamete. 3/ even though pair of alleles remained together, they became separated/segregated during formation of gametes.
