1. Fig. 2.2 Mendel’s breakthrough: Patterns, particles, and principles of heredity 1822- 1884

2. Syllabus

3. Genetics 1.Structure and function of genes. 2.How genes are transmitted from cells to cells, parents to children? 3.How phenotypes are controlled by the genotypes?

5. Fig. 2.7 A new experimental approach

6. 1.Garden pea: self-fertilization or cross-fertilization, and large number of individuals within a relatively short growing seasons. 2. Mendel examined the inheritance of clear-cut alternative forms. 3. Mendel collect pure-breeding lines, which produce offspring carrying specific parental traits that remain constant form generation to generations. 4. To control mating, to ensure that the progeny he observed really resulted from the special fertilization he intended. 5. Mendel worked with large numbers of plants.

8. Fig. 2.9 Monohybrid crosses reveal units of inheritance and the law of segregation 1866, Experiment on plant hybrids recessive dominant

9. Every plant carries two copies of a unit of inheritance (genes), Each gene comes in alternative forms (alleles).

11. The Law of Segregation The law of segregation: alleles separate during gametes formation, and re-unit randomly at fertilization.

12. Fig. 2.15 Dihybrid crossed reveals the law of independent assortment

13. Fig. 2.16 The law of independent assortment

14. Mendel’s work 1.Explain the reappearance of hidden trait, 2.Disprove the idea of blended inheritance 3. Show the mother and father make an equal genetic contribution to the next generation. 4.Deduced two basic rules of gene transmission.

15. Blended inheritance Patent trait become mixed and forever changed in the offsprings Old misconceptions about heredity

16. Fig. 2.19 The science of genetics begins with the rediscovery of Mendel
