Mendal’s first law
law of segregation
law of segregation
two factors control a chicken characteristic, one dominates the other. These factors separate and go to different gametes.
monohybrid cross
1st law of segregation
test 1 trait
monohybrid cross
- 2 sets of gametes (egg and sperm) give rise to 4 offspring
P
purple flower
(dominant)
*only one dominant copy needed to express a given trait
p
white flower
recessive
F1
all one hybrid and purple
*recessive parent is gone
Hybrid
heterozygote
F1 generation was allowed to self-pollinate
F2 generation = white parent or white flower regenerates
