Why Mendel Succeeded
It was not until the mid-nineteenth century that Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk, carried out important studies of heredity.
Heredity: the passing on of characteristics from parents to offspring.

Why Mendel Succeeded
Mendel was the first person to succeed in predicting how traits are transferred from one generation to the next.
A complete explanation requires the careful study of genetics
Genetics: the branch of biology that studies heredity.

Mendel chose his subject carefully
Mendel chose to use the garden pea in his experiments for several reasons.
Garden pea plants reproduce sexually, which means that they produce gametes.
Gametes: male and female sex cells
Section 10.1 Summary – pages

5. Section 10.1 Summary – pages 253-262
Mendel chose his subject carefully
The male gamete forms in the pollen grain, which is produced in the male reproductive organ.
The female gamete forms in the female reproductive organ.
Fertilization: the process in which the male gamete unites with the female gamete.
Zygote: The resulting fertilized cell

Mendel was a careful researcher
He studied only one trait at a time to control variables, and he analyzed his data mathematically.
The tall pea plants he worked with were from populations of plants that had been tall for many generations and had always produced tall offspring.
Section 10.1 Summary – pages

11. Section 10.1 Summary – pages 253-262
Mendel was a careful researcher
Such plants are said to be true breeding for tallness.
Likewise, the short plants he worked with were true breeding for shortness.

12. Section 13.1 Summary – pages 337 - 340
Selective Breeding
From ancient times, breeders have chosen plants and animals with the most desired traits to serve as parents of the next generation.
Breeders of plants and animals want to be sure that their populations breed consistently so that each member shows the desired trait.
Section 13.1 Summary – pages

13. Section 13.1 Summary – pages 337 - 340
Selective Breeding
The process of selective breeding requires time, patience, and several generations of offspring before the desired trait becomes common in a population.
Increasing the frequency of desired alleles in a population is the essence of genetic technology.

14. Section 13.1 Summary – pages 337 - 340
Inbreeding develops pure lines
To make sure that breeds consistently exhibit a trait and to eliminate any undesired traits from their breeding lines, breeders often use the method of inbreeding.
Inbreeding: mating between closely related individuals. It results in offspring that are homozygous for most traits.
Section 13.1 Summary – pages

15. Section 13.1 Summary – pages 337 - 340
Inbreeding develops pure lines
Inbreeding can bring out harmful, recessive traits because there is a greater chance that two closely related individuals both may carry a harmful recessive allele for the trait.

Hybrids are usually bigger and better
A hybrid is the offspring of parents that have different forms of a trait.
Hybrids produced by crossing two purebred plants are often larger and stronger than their parents.

Hybrids are usually bigger and better
Many crop plants such as wheat, corn, and rice, and garden flowers such as roses and dahlias have been developed by hybridization.

19. SELECTIVE BREEDING
The Liger is the result of breeding a female Tiger to a male Lion.
The liger has both stripes and spots. The stripes are inherited from its tiger parent and the spots from the lion parent.
On their hind legs, ligers stand approximately 12 feet tall. At most, ligers may weigh up to 1,000 pounds.

Mendel’s Monohybrid Crosses
Hybrid: the offspring of parents that have different forms of a trait, such as tall and short height.
Mendel’s first experiments are called monohybrid crosses because mono means “one” and the two parent plants differed from each other by a single trait—height.
Section 10.1 Summary – pages

25. Section 10.1 Summary – pages 253-262
The first generation
Mendel selected a six-foot-tall pea plant that came from a population of pea plants, all of which were over six feet tall.
He cross-pollinated this tall pea plant with pollen from a short pea plant.
All of the hybrid offspring grew to be as tall as the taller parent.
Section 10.1 Summary – pages

26. Section 10.1 Summary – pages 253-262
The second generation
Mendel allowed the tall plants in this first generation to self-pollinate.
After the seeds formed, he planted them and counted more than 1000 plants in this second generation.
Three-fourths of the plants were as tall as the tall plants in the parent and first generations.

One-fourth of the offspring were as short as the short plants in the parent generation.

The original parents, the true-breeding plants, are known as the P1 generation.

The rule of unit factors
Mendel concluded that each organism has two factors that control each of its traits.
We now know that these factors are genes and that they are located on chromosomes.
Alleles: different forms of a gene

The rule of dominance
Dominant: the observed trait

The law of segregation
The law of segregation states that every individual has two alleles of each gene and when gametes are produced, each gamete receives one of these alleles.
During fertilization, these gametes randomly pair to produce four combinations of alleles.

An organism’s genotype can’t always be known by its phenotype.

Phenotypes and Genotypes
Homozygous: An organism that has two alleles for a trait that are the same.
The true-breeding tall plant that had two alleles for tallness (TT) would be homozygous for the trait of height.
Section 10.1 Summary – pages

40. Section 10.1 Summary – pages 253-262
Phenotypes and Genotypes
Heterozygous: An organism that has two alleles for a trait that differ from each other.
Therefore, the tall plant that had one allele for tallness and one allele for shortness (Tt) is heterozygous for the trait of height.
Section 10.1 Summary – pages

41. Section 13.1 Summary – pages 337 - 340
Determining Genotypes
The genotype of an organism that is homozygous recessive for a trait is obvious to an observer because the recessive trait is expressed.
However, organisms that are either homozygous dominant or heterozygous for a trait controlled by Mendelian inheritance have the same phenotype.
Section 13.1 Summary – pages

42. Section 13.1 Summary – pages 337 - 340
Test crosses can determine genotypes
One way to determine the genotype of an organism is to perform a test cross.
Test cross: a cross of an individual of unknown genotype with an individual of known genotype. ? x dd D Dd Dd d dd dd

Mendel’s Dihybrid Crosses
Mendel performed another set of crosses in which he used peas that differed from each other in two traits rather than only one.
Such a cross involving two different traits is called a dihybrid cross.
Section 10.1 Summary – pages

46. Section 10.1 Summary – pages 253-262
The first generation
Mendel took true-breeding pea plants that had round yellow seeds (RRYY) and crossed them with true-breeding pea plants that had wrinkled green seeds (rryy).
He already knew the round-seeded trait was dominant to the wrinkled-seeded trait.
He also knew that yellow was dominant to green.

Probability
In reality you don’t get the exact ratio of results shown in the square.
That’s because, in some ways, genetics is like flipping a coin—it follows the rules of chance.
The probability or chance that an event will occur can be determined by dividing the number of desired outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.
