Who was Gregor Mendel, Key terms.
Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk in 1865, he called gene factors. He is known as the father of genetics but in his time his work was not widely accepted because people felt he tweaked his results they seemed too good.
Key terms:
Genotype
the symbolic representation of pairs of alleles
Phenotype
the characteristics or traits of an organism
Dominant allele An allele that has the same effect whether in heterozygous or homozygous
Recessive alle
An allele that has an effect only went and homozygous state
Codominant alleles pairs of alleles that both affect the phenotypes when present in heterozygous locus the position on homologous chromosomes of a gene …show more content…
Is it possible to deduce whether the dominant is Aa or AA by the eye?
B. gametes have only one allele of each gene, The two alleles of each gene separate
1.Punnett Square used to show how alleles of parents are split between their gametes and how new combinations can occur in an offspring.
2. A monohybrid cross is one that the parents have different alleles and only shows results for one trait.
3. Steps to create a Punnett grid: children letter to show the alleles determine the parents genotypes: all the possibilities determine the gametes that the parents could produce draw punnett grid work out the chances
III. What are other examples of phenotypes with multiple alleles? C. Fusion of gametes, Dominant alleles and co-dominant
