Gregor Mendel “Father of genetics”
• Born in 1822• Studied science and math
at Univ. of Vienna• Austrian Monk who
studied inheritance• Teacher and gardener• Worked with pea plants
and cross pollination

• Mendel did originally started his studies with mice not peas.
• The other monks did not approve of him breeding mice…plus they smelled bad!

Mendel’s Laws
1. Law of Dominance – some traits are stronger than others and thus will appear more frequently in the offspring
2. Law of Segregation – alleles of same trait separate from each other during the formation of gametes (sex cells)
3. Law of Independent Assortment- genes for different traits can segregate independently during formation of gametes

Traits – Dominant and Recessive

Genotype and Phenotype
Genes are sorted in to the gametes (sex cells of an organism) and due to independent assortment, we can think of traits as sorting separate. Genotype-
Phenotype-

PracticeAssume Y means dominant yellow and y means recessive green. (Pure-breeding means YY or yy)•What is the phenotype and genotype of F1?•What is the phenotype(s) and genotype(s) of F2?
