Document Summary

This is caused by separation of homologous chromosome during meiosis: mendel reasoned that the heritable factor for white flowers did not disappear in the f1 plants but was somehow hidden, or masked, when the purple-flower factor was present. I(cid:374) me(cid:374)del"s ter(cid:373)i(cid:374)olog(cid:455), purple flower colour is a dominant trait, and white flower colour is a recessive trait: when f1 self-pollinate, it resulted to 3(purple):1(white) ratio. First, alternative versions of genes account for variations in inherited characters (define the allele) Second, for each character, an organism inherits two copies (that is, two alleles) of a gene, one from each parent: each somatic cell in a diploid organism has two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. Third, if the two alleles at a locus differ, then one, the dominant allele, deter(cid:373)i(cid:374)es the orga(cid:374)is(cid:373)"s appearance; the other, the recessive allele, has no (cid:374)oti(cid:272)ea(cid:271)le effe(cid:272)t o(cid:374) the orga(cid:374)is(cid:373)"s appeara(cid:374)(cid:272)e.
