Mendel’s Laws of Heredity Why we look the way we look...
Mendel used peas... b They reproduce sexually b They have two distinct, male and female, sex cells called gametes b Their traits are easy to isolate
Mendel crossed them b Fertilization - the uniting of male and female gametes b Cross - combining gametes from parents with different traits
What Did Mendel Find? b He discovered different laws and rules that explain factors affecting heredity.
Rule of Dominance b The trait that is observed in the offspring is the dominant trait (uppercase) b The trait that disappears in the offspring is the recessive trait (lowercase)
Law of Segregation b Genes appear in pairs on homologous chromosomes b SEPARATED when gametes are formed b Recombine during fertilization
Law of Independent Assortment b The genes for different traits are inherited independently of each other. b Homologous chromosomes move randomly to gametes b Explains why siblings look different
Monohybrid Vs Dihybrid b Monohybrid Cross - crossing parents who differ in only one trait (AA with aa) b Dihybrid Cross - crossing parents who differ in two traits (AAEE with aaee)
