Document Summary

Lecture 12: chapter 4, genetics, neo-darwinism, and modern synthesis. (2) law of segregation: two alleles for a heritable character segregate (separate from each other) during gamete formation and end up in different gametes. Understand these terms: phenotype, genotype, homozygous, heterozygous. In these flowers, there are 2 phenotypes (purple vs white) There are 3 genotypes (pp, pp, pp) aka combination of genes. Child has free earlobes and v-shaped hairline, because alleles of hairline and alleles of ear lobes separate independently when gametes form. Mendel"s works were resurfaced by three geneticists: coreens, tschermack and hugo de vries. Hugo de vries had also made a theory of mutations which said new species can be formed in one or multiple steps (saltationism) through mutations that would cause substantial morphological modifications. But, then it was discovered that mutations are generally harmful or neutral and not many seem to influence an organism"s traits.
