Genetics

• Genetics is the study of genes and inheritance

• Inheritance is how traits are passed on from generation to generation.

• Chromosomes are made

up of genes, which are made up of DNA.

Gregor Mendel

• Austrian monk

• Experimented with pea plants

• He discovered that traits were carried from one generation to the next.

RATIO THE RELATIONSHIP IN NUMBERS BETWEEN TWO OR MORE THINGS

Mendel’s Experiment

He chose to work with pea plants because

– Readily available– Reproduced quickly– Traits were distinct

Mendel’s Experiment

Mendel crossed true breeding plants that had two distinct and contrasting traits, like purple and white flowers. After the first cross, the plants self-fertilized.

Mendel’s ExperimentP generation is parental generation.

F1 generation is the first generation.

F2 generation is the second generation.

Mendel’s Experiment

He studied these seven traits

Mendel’s Phenotypic Conclusions

In the F1 generation, all plants had the same trait.

In the F2 generation, there was always a 3:1 ratio of a single trait.

Mendel’s Genotypic Conclusions

In the F2 generation,

The genotypic ratiois different.

Remember P is dominant so the plants will be purple even with Pp.
