Document Summary
Altered protein differs by a single amino acid. Used garden peas to study patterns of inheritance. 10. 1 the beginnings of genetics: mendel"s garden peas. Blending theory of inheritance: theory suggesting that hereditary traits blend evenly in offspring through mixing of the blood of the two parents. Trait: a particular variation in a genetic or phenotypic character. Observed that traits do not blend evenly: result of segregation of chromosomes, on which the genes are located, to gametes in meiosis. Most important innovation: quantitative approach to science. 10. 1a mendel chose true-breeding garden peas for his experiments. Prevented self-fertilization by cutting off the anthers. Cross-pollination: fertilization of one plant by a different plant. Male gametes: sperm nuclei in pollen produced in the anthers of the flower. Female gametes are egg cells produced in the carpel of the flower. True-breeding: refers to an individual that passes traits without change from one generation to the next.
