discovered by Gregor Mendel in both the monohybrid and dihybrid cross. The ability to test these ratios stems from the use of Mendel’s law of segregation which states that during meiosis allele pairs will separate in gametes so one of each allele is present in a gamete. (Garey‚ et al‚pg 8-13) These single alleles are then combined with the other parental gamete forming a new somatic cell. Another important law is the law of independent assortment which means that different gene pairs will separate

also hold true for genetics due to the law of independent assortment. Each alternative type of outcome in a gene acts independently of the other possible outcomes. Alleles: Each of the possible forms a gene is called an allele. Most genes will have 2 alleles. Dominant – The allele that appears most frequently. Recessive – The allele that appears least frequently. Dominant v. Recessive: Dominant – Freckles‚ Widows Peak‚ Free Earlobe Recessive – No Freckles‚ Straight Hair Line‚ Attached Earlobe

genes. Experiments had established that the allele for yellow seeds were the dominant allele (Y) and green seeds were the recessive allele (y). There were two different ways as to how seed shape and seed color would be passed onto offspring. One was independent assortment‚ which says that the allele for seed shape and the allele for seed color present in each parent would assort independently. Another was dependent assortment‚ which says that the alleles for seed color and

Blueprint of Life: Gregor Mendel’s Experiments and the Inheritance of Characteristics How and When Mendel carried out his experiments: a. Briefly outline Mendel’s biography • Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) was an Augustinian monk of Austrian origin and is known as the Father of Genetics. • During his childhood he worked as a gardener‚ and as a young man attended the Olmutz Philosophical Institute. • In 1843 he entered an Augustinian monastery in Brunn‚ Czechoslovakia.

1.) In a plant having two carried alleles for the color of a flower in a gene‚ with P for purple and p for white‚ the three possible combinations which might exist in any one plant are PP making a purple plant‚ pp to make a white plant‚ or Pp resulting in a ‘hybrid’ plant. 2.) Out of the genotypes PP‚ Pp‚ pp‚ the resultant flower colors are (as described above in exercise 1) are purple (for PP‚) purple or purplish-white (for Pp- likely purple as it is dominant‚ or a mixture of the colors‚) or white

Chapter 12 (Part 2) Explain the principle of independent assortment and its relation to meiosis: The segregation of chromosomes in anaphase I of meiosis explains Mendel’s observation that each parent gives one allele for each trait at random to each offspring‚ regardless of whether the allele is expressed. The segregation of chromosomes at random during anaphase I explains Mendel’s observation that factors‚ or genes‚ for different traits are inherited independently of each other. Apply the rules

crosses the purple and smooth showed up the most (later on we can see these are the dominant alleles when we plug these values in the Chi-Square test table). If we were to do Punnett Squares (parents of hybrid crosses and two heterozygous parents) to discover the estimation of the outcomes (the percentage of chance the outcome will be a certain thing)‚ we would see that expectations are that purple and smooth alleles will cover 9/16 of the corn and that there is 9/16 probability that the kernel will end

Reshmi Radhakrishnan‚ TA: Jared Tues Rm 24 Experiment 6 Purpose: To analyze if diploid yeast strain heterozygous for ARG8 ADE2 HIS3/arg8 ade2 his3 on chromosome XV and TRP1/trp1 on chromosome IV irradiated with UV light underwent mitotic recombination to form homozygous recessive ade2/ade2 mutants. The ade2/ade2 mutant are selected then plated on different media to observe if the homozygous recessive mutants were due to mitotic recombination. Controls: If all the red cells grew on the CSM-Trp

F1 generation: The hybrid of the P generation is the F1 generation‚ or the first filial generation. F2 generation: The offspring of the self-fertilizing F1 generation is the F2 generation‚ or second filial generation. 3.
