Early Ideas about Heredity
• Blending Theory (19th century):
– Each parent contributed “factors” that were blended in
the offspring
• What was the problem with this theory?
– All individuals of a population would eventually look
the same.
– Once blended, traits would never separate and show
up in later generations.
Chapter 9, Section 1: Mendel
Gregor Mendel (1822 – 1884)
• Augustinian monk who
studied pea plants
• Established the
particulate theory of
heredity
• Significance:
– Developed pure lines
– Counted results and kept
statistical notes (data)
• His work remained
undiscovered until 1903.

Why did he research
pea plants?
Flower Color
1. They are normally
self-pollinated,
but can be
cross-pollinated.
Flower Position
2. They have several
qualitative traits
that are easy to
distinguish

Mendel’s Conclusions
1. Law of Segregation
a. Factors (genes) for a particular trait occur in
pairs
b. For each trait, an organism inherits two
genes, one from each parent.
c. Dominant alleles mask recessive ones
i. Exception 1: Incomplete Dominance
ii. Exception 2: Co-dominance
d. Two alleles for each trait segregate
(separate) during gamete production
Law of Segregation:
Factors for a particular
trait occur in pairs
Homologous pair of
Chromosomes
Genes:
The “factors” that
control traits.
Alleles:
Different forms of a
gene.

• Each individual is diploid
– Diploid: Containing a double-set of chromosomes (2n)
• Each gamete is haploid
– Gamete: Reproductive cell (egg or sperm)
– Haploid: Containing a single-set of chromosomes (n)

One version of each
gene is inherited from
each parent

Vocabulary Practice
We will now play “Got Gametes?” in order
to practice understanding the following
new terms: alleles, genotype, phenotype,
homozygous, heterozygous
Vocabulary Practice
Each of you are haploid gametes carrying
single alleles – for a trait.
Your single letter can be combined with another
single letter (i.e., Hh) to form a genotype in a
diploid organism.
You will observe a series of faces. Come to the
front of the classroom if you think you have the
right genotype to match the phenotype
shown. Make sure to find the corresponding
allele for the trait you represent!
How do you set up a Punnett

Law of Segregation:

during gamete production
Back to Mendel’s
Conclusions
This occurs in a process called meiosis:
Specifically it is “crossing over,” which occurs very
early during Prophase I of Meiosis and separation
in Anaphase I and II
Mendel’s Conclusions
The law of segregation followed one single trait at
a time, such as seed color.
What if two traits were followed, such as seed
color and seed shape?
Are these genes somehow connected (linked) and inherited
together?
P
Following two traits:
Seed shape and seed color

Hypothesis:
If the genes for seed
shape and color are
connected in some way,
then the dominant R and
Y alleles and the recessive
r and y alleles will be
matched sets in the
gametes.
For the traits of seed shape and color, this
hypothesis is NOT supported by experimental
evidence

Mendel’s Conclusion!
Law of Independent Assortment:
If the genes are not connected, then they
should segregate independently. The
alleles are randomly packaged into
different gametes during meiosis
(In other words, genes for seed shape and
color were not inherited together.)

Punnett Square was introduced as a tool to
predict or determine the probability of an
event
