CH 14 Simple Patterns of inheritance Flashcards
Plant Male Organ
Stamen
Plant Female Organ
carpels
Cross Pollination
Dusting one plant with pollen from another
Breeding type Mendel used
True Breeding/ Pure breeding
True Breeding Parent Generation
- P generation
Hybrid offspring of P generation
- F1 (First Filial) generation
- F2 generation occurs when F1 self pollinates
Mendels law of segregation
- Offspring of F2 are phenotypically 75% : 25% (Dominant : Recessive)
Mendel called a ‘gene” …
“a heritable factor”
1st Concept: Alternative versions of genes (+ variation)
Alleles
2nd Concept
for each character an organism inherits 2 alleles (law of segregation)
3rd Concept
Homozygous (true breeding); 2 identical alleles
Heterozygous: 2 Differing Alleles
4th Concept
Sperm & egg only get 1 of the alleles present in somatic cells
Genotype
organisms genetic makeup
Phenotype
Organisms physical appearance
