mendel Flashcards
mendel’s first law
principle of segregation - 2 members of a gene pair (allele) segregate during gamete production
autosomal dominant traits
vertical inheritance, unaffected individuals have unaffected children
autosomal recessive traits
horizontal inheritance
mendel’s second law
principle of independent assortment - factors for different traits assort independently of one another
AaxAa
3:1 phenotype
AaxAa
1:2:1 genotypic ratio
mendel’s third law
law of dominance - some alleles dominant some recessive, at least one dominant allele will display and mask recessive allele
chromosome theory 1902
genes located on chromosomes, chromes undergo segregation, meiosis and fertilization account for inheritance patterns
