Mendel’s breakthrough:
Patterns, particles, and principles of heredity
1822-1884
Syllabus
Genetics1. Structure and function of genes.
2. How genes are transmitted from cells to cells, parents to children?
3. How phenotypes are controlled by the genotypes?

A new experimental approach
A new experimental approach
1. Garden pea: self-fertilization or cross-fertilization, and large number of individuals within a relatively short
growing seasons.
2. Mendel examined the inheritance of clear-cut alternative forms.
3. Mendel collect pure-breeding lines, which produce offspring carrying specific parental traits that remain constant form generation to generations.
4. To control mating, to ensure that the progeny he observed really resulted from the special fertilization he intended.
5. Mendel worked with large numbers of plants.

Monohybrid crosses reveal units of inheritance and
the law of segregation
1866, Experiment on plant hybrids
recessivedominant
Every plant carries two copies of a unit of inheritance (genes),
Each gene comes in alternative forms (alleles).

The Law of Segregation
• The law of segregation: alleles separate during gametes formation, and re-unit randomly at fertilization.

Dihybrid crossed revealsthe law of independentassortment
Fig. 2.16 The law of independent assortment
Mendel’s work1. Explain the reappearance of hidden trait,
2. Disprove the idea of blended inheritance
3. Show the mother and father make an equal genetic contribution to the next generation.
4. Deduced two basic rules of gene transmission.
Blended inheritance
Patent trait become mixed and forever changed in the offsprings
Old misconceptions about heredity
