GENETICS - CH.9

Gregor Mendel: 1866

• 1st to analyze patterns of inheritance scientifically
  
• In a garden of an abbey in Austria, bred garden peas

- The reproductive parts of the flower are the stamen and the carpel.

• The stamen is the male reproductive part that has pollen, which is sperm.
• The carpel is the female reproductive part with the egg and once its fertilized it turns into a full, ripe flower.
  
• One way flowers get fertilized is through self fertilization, where its own stamen fertilizes its own carpel.
  

• Parents pass heritable factors (genes) to their offspring
• Genes retain individuality generation after generation
• Self vs. Cross fertilization- Self fertilization fertilizes by itself and Cross fertilization is when its pollinated by a different plant
  
• Hybrids (Aa)- offspring of 2 different true breeding varieties (Pure breeds)- AA or aa
  
• *P generation. F1, F2- F3
• Monohybrid Crosses- 1 trait
• Alleles- alternative forms of a gene
• Dominant(A) vs. Recessive- masked Aa or aa
  
  
  
  

P- Parent

F1- Offspring

F2- Grandkids

etc.
