Do Now:
What is a trait?

Blending Hypothesis- A hypothesis to explain
inheritance What color flower might you expect to
get if you crossed a red and yellow flowered plant?
- Blending of parental traits

Gregor Mendel- The first scientist to experiment
with inheritance
Genetics: the study of heredity
![Page 4: 1/7/15 Objective: Who was Gregor Mendel and what were his contributions to genetics? Do Now: What is a trait?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062306/5a4d1af57f8b9ab059981467/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Particulate Hypothesis- Parents pass on to their offspring
separate and distinct factors (genes) responsible for inherited traits
![Page 5: 1/7/15 Objective: Who was Gregor Mendel and what were his contributions to genetics? Do Now: What is a trait?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062306/5a4d1af57f8b9ab059981467/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Pure-breeding- true-breeding (purple flowers
produce purple flowers)
![Page 6: 1/7/15 Objective: Who was Gregor Mendel and what were his contributions to genetics? Do Now: What is a trait?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062306/5a4d1af57f8b9ab059981467/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hybrids- The offspring of 2 different true
breeding varieties (ex: a purple and a white flower)
![Page 7: 1/7/15 Objective: Who was Gregor Mendel and what were his contributions to genetics? Do Now: What is a trait?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062306/5a4d1af57f8b9ab059981467/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Parental plants = p generation
Hybrid offspring are called the:First filial = F1 generation
When the F1 plants self-fertilize or fertilize each other they are the
Second filial = F2 generation

• Alleles- alternative forms of genes (ex: purple flower or
white flower) - - 2 alleles for the gene, one from each parent
• Homozygous: an individual with two of the SAME alleles
• Heterozygous: an individual with two DIFFERENT alleles
![Page 9: 1/7/15 Objective: Who was Gregor Mendel and what were his contributions to genetics? Do Now: What is a trait?](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062306/5a4d1af57f8b9ab059981467/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Dominant: A trait that will appear in the offspring if one parent contributes it, capital letter (B= Brown eyes)
• Recessive: a trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in the offspring, lower case letter (b= blue eyes)

• Crossing 2 parent plants that differ in only one character (trait)
