Document Summary

Gregor mendel acknowledged that both sexes contributed equally to a new individual: used garden pea pisum sativa. Me(cid:374)del"s first law of i(cid:374)herita(cid:374)(cid:272)e law of segregation: 1. Each individual has two factors for each trait: 2. The factors segregate (separate) during the formation of the gametes: 3. Each gamete contains only one factor from each pair of factors: 4. Fertilization gives each new individual two factors for each trait. S(cid:272)ie(cid:374)tists (cid:374)ote parallel (cid:271)etwee(cid:374) (cid:373)e(cid:374)del"s parti(cid:272)ulate factors and chromosomes. Chromosomal theory of inheritance chromosomes are carriers of genetic information. Each homologue holds on copy of each pair. Alleles alternative forms of a gene: alleles occur on homologous chromosomes at a particular location called the. Genotype alleles individual receives at fertilization: homozygous two identical alleles. Phenotype physical appearance of individual: mostly determined by genotype. If four factors segregate into games independently, 4 phenotypes would result.
