Mendel And Genes Flashcards
Mendel published his findings
1865
Rediscovery of Mendel’s work- birth of modern genetics
1900
Monohybrid Cross
Considers only 1 trait (i.e. Eye color)
F1 X F1
Intercross
R X r = Pink
R- Red
(r- White)
Blended Theory
Order of generations
P
F1
F2
Genotype ratio
DD:Dd:dd
Phenotype ratio
Red:blue
Segregation
Allele pairs separate during gamete formation
And randomly unite with fertilization
The dominant phenotype can first be determined by examine the phenotypes of the ___ gen
F1
Any gamete is equally likely to contain any gene pair
P is equally likely to fertilize P as p
Test Cross
Determines the genotype of an individual with a dominant phenotype
Result is a tester cross
Dihybrid Cross
Particular combinations of alleles inherited together
I.e. Yellow and round seeds
