Manager * Reads directions and keeps group on task

Recorder * Turns in worksheet and makes sure everyone agrees on answers

Reporter * Presents answers to class

Technician * Gets materials and asks questions to teacher or other groups.

It is EVERYONE’s duty to contribute to the group and learn the material!

Mendel’s Law of Heredity

Review Notes!

• Crossed pea plants

• Tested for different traits

Mendel’s Pea Experiments

Mendel’s Pea Experiments• Why pea plants?

– Easy to grow– Don’t take up a lot of space– Grows fast– Easy to “mate” together– Makes lots of offspring

(seeds)

Mendel’s Pea Experiments

ParentsFirst generation,

Offspring of Parents

Second generation,Offspring of F1 mating

with another F1

Mendel’s Conclusions• Heredity = traits are transmitted

from 2 parents to their offspring• Trait = a characteristic that is

based on genetics• Hybrid = offspring of parents that

have different forms of a trait• Purebred = offspring of parents

have the same form of a trait

Genetics

Offspring get two copies of genes

for a trait (ONE FROM MOM, ONE FROM

DAD), sometimes one copy

dominates over the other copy.

Genetics• Gene = section of chromosome that tells

cell what to do• Allele = a variant of a gene• Dominant = an allele that dominates over

the recessive allele, only need one copy to be expressed

• Recessive = an allele that gets masked if a dominant allele is paired with it, must have two copies to be expressed

Genetics• Homozygous = 2 identical alleles

for a trait• Heterozygous = 2 different alleles

for a trait• Genotype = combination of alleles• Phenotype = expression of the

genotype, the way the genotype is expressed

Monohybrid Cross

• Making a cross for ONE trait

A Punnett square for a MONOHYBRID CROSS

looks like:

Steps to solve Punnett Square Cross

1. What are the parent alleles?

2. What size Punnett square?

3. Where do the parent gametes go?

Example #1

In pea plants….

Tall (T) is dominant over short (t)

Make a cross between
