You have probably noticed that different people have different characteristics, such as eye color, hair color, and ear lobes that do or do not attach directly to their head. Where do you think people get these different traits?

Section 1 Mendel and His Peas
Objectives
Explain the relationship between traits and heredity.
Describe the experiments of Gregor Mendel.
Explain the difference between dominant and recessive traits.

6. Chapter 5 Who Was Gregor Mendel?
Section 1 Mendel and His Peas
Who Was Gregor Mendel?
Gregor Mendel was born in 1822 in Heinzendorf, Austria.
At age 21, Mendel entered a monastery. He performed many scientific experiments in the monastery garden.
Mendel discovered the principles of heredity, the passing of traits from parents to offspring.

7. Unraveling the Mystery
Chapter 5
Section 1 Mendel and His Peas
Unraveling the Mystery
Mendel used garden pea plants for his experiments.
Self-Pollinating Peas have both male and female reproductive structures. So, pollen from one flower can fertilize the ovule of the same flower.
When a true-breeding plant self pollinates, all of the offspring will have the same trait as the parent.

Pea plants can also cross-pollinate. Pollen from one plant fertilizes the ovule of a flower on a different plant.
The image below shows cross-pollination and self-pollination.

Characteristics Mendel studied only one pea characteristic at a time. A characteristic is a feature that has different forms in a population.
Different forms of a characteristic are called traits.

Mix and Match Mendel was careful to use plants that were true breeding for each of the traits he was studying. By doing so, he would know what to expect if his plants were to self-pollinate.

11. Mendel’s First Experiments
Chapter 5
Section 1 Mendel and His Peas
Mendel’s First Experiments
Mendel crossed pea plants to study seven different characteristics.
Mendel got similar results for each cross. One trait was always present in the first generation, and the other trait seemed to disappear.
Mendel called the trait that appeared the dominant trait. The trait that seemed to fade into the background was called the recessive trait.

12. Chapter 5 Mendel’s Second Experiments
Section 1 Mendel and His Peas
Mendel’s Second
Experiments
To find out more about recessive traits, Mendel allowed the first-generation plants to self-pollinate.
In each case some of the second-generation plats had the recessive trait.

Ratios in Mendel’s Experiments The recessive trait did not show up as often as the dominant trait.
Mendel decided to figure out the ratio of dominant traits to recessive traits.

In all cases the ratio was about 3:1 dominant : recessive.

Section 2 Traits and Inheritance
Objectives
Explain how genes and alleles are related to genotype and phenotype.
Use the information in a Punnett square.
Explain how probability can be used to predict possible genotypes in offspring.
Describe three exceptions to Mendel’s observations.

18. Chapter 5
Section 2 Traits and Inheritance
A Great Idea
Mendel knew that there must be two sets of instructions for each characteristic.
The instructions for an inherited trait are called genes.
The different forms (often dominant and recessive) of a gene are alleles.
Phenotype An organism’s appearance is known as its phenotype. Genes affect the phenotype.

19. Chapter 5 A Great Idea, continued

Genotype The combination of inherited alleles together form an organism’s genotype.
Punnett Squares are used to organize all the possible genotype combinations of offspring from particular parents.

Genotype Probability To have white flowers, a pea plant must receive a p allele from each parent. Each offspring of a Pp Pp cross has a 50% chance of receiving either allele from either parent. So, the probability of inheriting two p alleles is 1/2  1/2, which equals 1/4, or 25%.

More About Traits
Incomplete Dominance Researchers have found that sometimes one trait is not completely dominant over another.
One Gene, Many Traits Sometimes one gene influences more than one trait.
Many Genes, One Trait Some traits, such as the color of your skin, hair, and eyes, are the result of several genes acting together.

The Importance of Environment Genes aren’t the only influences on traits. A combination of things determine an individual’s characteristics.
Your environment also influences how you grow.
Lifestyle choices can also affect a person’s traits.

28. Chapter 5 Asexual Reproduction
Section 3 Meiosis
Asexual Reproduction
In asexual reproduction, only one parent cell is needed. The structures inside the cell are copied, and then the parent cell divides, making two exact copies.
This type of cell reproduction is called mitosis. Most of the cells in your body and most single-celled organisms reproduce this way.

Section 3 Meiosis
Sexual Reproduction
In sexual reproduction, two parent cells (sex cells) join together to form offspring that are different from both parents.
Chromosomes that carry the same sets of genes are called homologous chromosomes.
Each sex cell has only one of the chromosomes from the homologous pair.

Passage 1 The different versions of a gene are called alleles. When two different alleles occur together, one is often expressed while the other has no obvious effect on the organism’s appearance. The expressed form of the trait is dominant. The trait that was not expressed when the dominant form of the trait was present is called recessive. Imagine a plant that has both purple and white alleles for flower color. If the plant blooms purple, then purple is the dominant form of the trait. Therefore, white is the recessive form.

Passage 2 Sickle cell anemia is a recessive genetic disorder. People inherit this disorder only when they inherit the disease-causing recessive allele from both parents. The disease causes the body to make red blood cells that bend into a sickle (or crescent moon) shape. The sickle-shaped red blood cells break apart easily.

Passage 2, continued Therefore, the blood of a person with sickle cell anemia carries less oxygen. Sickle-shaped blood cells also tend to get stuck in blood vessels. When a blood vessel is blocked, the blood supply to organs can be cut off. But the sickle-shaped blood cells can also protect a person from malaria. Malaria is a disease caused by an organism that invades red blood cells.
