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