InheritanceInheritance
Mendel stated that physical traits are inherited as “particles”Mendel did not know that the “particles” were actually Chromosomes & DNA

Vocabulary Trait:- any characteristic that can
be passed from parent to offspring Heredity: - passing of traits from
parent to offspring Genetics: - study of heredity Purebred: one that always
produces offspring with the same form of a trait as the parent. (homozygous)
• Hybrid: has both forms of a trait (heterozygous)

More Vocabulary
Alleles - two forms of a gene (dominant & recessive)
Dominant - stronger of two genes expressed in the hybrid; represented by a capital letter (R)
• Recessive - gene that shows up less often in a cross; represented by a lowercase letter (r)
• Homozygous and purebred = BB• Heterozygous and hybrid= Bb

Eight Pea Plant Traits
• Seed shape --- Round (R) or Wrinkled (r)
• Seed Color ---- Yellow (Y) or Green (y)• Pod Shape --- Smooth (S) or wrinkled
(s)• Pod Color --- Green (G) or Yellow (g)• Seed Coat Color ---Gray (G) or White
(g)• Flower position---Axial (A) or Terminal
(a)• Plant Height --- Tall (T) or Short (t)• Flower color --- Purple (P) or white (p)

Generations
P-Generation (Parents)
F1 Generation (1st Generation of Offspring)
F2 Generation (2nd Generation of Offspring)

Punnett Squares
• The gene combinations that might result from a genetic cross can be determined by drawing a diagram known as the punnett square.

Genotype and Phenotype• Genotype is an organisms genetic
makeup. For example Bb or BB or bb
• Phenotype is the physical characteristics or what they look like. For example if we were talking about eye color, the phenotype would be blue or brown eyes.
• If B =brown eyes and b= blue eyes– Bb=would have brown eyes– BB= brown eyes– bb = blue eyes

Beyond Dominant and Recessive Alleles
• Some alleles are neither dominant or recessive, and many traits are controlled by multiple alleles or multiple genes.
• Incomplete dominance: one allele is not completely dominant over another. A red flower crossed with a white flower, produce pink flowers. (blending)
• Codominance: Both alleles contribute to the phenotype of the organism. Black chicken crossed to a white chicken produce a black and white chicken

Codominance
• Two alleles are expressed (multiple alleles) in heterozygous individuals.
• Example: blood type
• 1. type A = IAIA or IAi• 2. type B = IBIB or IBi• 3. type AB= IAIB
• 4. type O = ii
