Document Summary
8. 1 genes are particulate and are inherited according to mendel"s laws. Observed the traits of these plants: then allowed the f1 plants to self-fertilize and observed the traits of f2 generation. If the individual is homozygous dominant, then offspring will all be dominant. If the individual is heterozygous, then offspring will be dominant and recessive at a 3:1 ratio. Probability is used to predict inheritance inherited together (linked: probability must be between 0 and 1, the probability of two independent outcomes occurring together is found by multiplying the two individual probabilities. 15. 3 evolution can be measured by changes in allele frequency. P = the frequency of the dominant trait. Q = the frequency of the recessive trait. If there is only one allele, then the frequency is 1, the population is monomorphic, and the allele is said to be fixed. Genetic structure a combination of the allele frequency and genotypic frequency to understand the population.
