Document Summary

Mendel"s peas were highly in-bred, because flower structure promoted self-fertilization (therefore bred true) example: when two tall plants were crossed, they only produced tall progeny. Mendel"s experiments were designed so that he could study one trait at a time. Step 1: tall and dwarf varieties are cross-fertilized. Step 2: all the hybrid progeny are tall. Step 4: tall and dwarf plants appear among the offspring of the hybrids approximately in a ratio of 3 tall: 1 dwarf. Each trait appeared to be controlled by a heritable factor that came in one of two terms: dominant and recessive. Mendel"s heritable factor = gene dominant and recessive forms called alleles homozygous: both alleles are identical heterozygous: the two alleles are different. In a genetic cross, the parents are referred to as the parental (p) generation their offspring represent the first filial (f1) generation their grand-offspring the f2 generation. Step 2: the f1 heterozygotes produce two kinds of gametes in equal properties.
