Patterns of Heredity
the BIG idea
In sexual reproduction, genes are passed from parents to offspring in
predictable patterns.
4.1 Living things inherit traits in patterns.
4.2 Patterns of heredity can be predicted.
4.3 Meiosis is a special form of cell division.

KEY CONCEPT
Living things inherit traits in patterns.
Offspring inherit alleles, which are
forms of genes, from their
parents. Alleles come on
chromosome pairs and can be
dominant or recessive.
The alleles you have
are your genotype; the observable
characteristics that come from
your genotype are your
phenotype.

KEY CONCEPT
Modern genetics uses DNA technology.
Changes in DNA can change an organism. Selective
breeding changes organisms by choosing for traits already
coded for by DNA.
Genetic engineering introduces changes to the DNA of an
organism. It can be used to
• introduce new traits into an
organism
VOCABULARY

mammal to be cloned.
