Hybridization”

Why Mendel was successful…

He studied single traits He used LARGE sample sizes Introduced Ratios

Terms to KNOW Allele: 1 of 2 or more different forms of a gene.

Represented as a letter. 2 alleles make a genotype. Genotype: Genetic Make-up represented as 2

alleles, one from each parent. Ex: “AA, Aa, aa” Phenotype: Physical Characteristic. Ex: Blue eyes. Dominant: Allele that will be expressed.

Represented as a capital letter. Ex: “A” Recessive: Allele that is “hidden.” Represented as

a lower case letter. Ex: “a” Homozygous: 2 of the same alleles

Example: AA or aa

Heterozygous: 2 different alleles Example: Aa

MORE Terms to Know

Monohybrid: Individual that is heterozygous for one trait. Ex: Aa

Monohybrid Cross: Genetic Cross between 2 heterozygotes. Ex: Aa x Aa

First and Second Parental Generations P1 and P2

First and Second Filial Generations (offspring- filial means child in Latin) F1 and F2

Law of Dominance: If a dominant allele is present, the dominant phenotype will be expressed.Model Genotype

Phenotype Type of organism that exhibits genotype

RR Homozygous Dominant

Round Pure bred

rr Homozygous recessive

Wrinkled Pure bred

Rr Heterozygous Round Hybrid

Page 6: Gregor Mendel Book: “Experiments in Plant Hybridization”

Law of Segregation

During the formation of gametes (in meiosis), alleles of gametes separate (segregate).

Each G allele has separated from the other.
