    Study Notes

    Laws of Inheritance

    • Heterozygous parents for freckles (dominant trait) produce offspring with a 75% probability of having freckles.
    • Scientific laws are statements of fact that are universally accepted and consistently observed.

    Genetics Fundamentals

    • A gene is defined as a segment of DNA that serves as the basic unit of heredity.
    • Mendel's experiment with purebred purple (PP) and white (pp) flowering plants resulted in 100% purple offspring.

    Mendelian Principles

    • The principle of segregation is represented in Mendel's experiments, indicating that gametes carry one allele for each trait.
    • The law of segregation summarizes that each gamete contains only one allele for each inherited trait.

    Mendel’s Methodology

    • Mendel chose pea plants for his studies due to their sexual reproduction and the ease of observing various traits.
    • The law of independent assortment does not define the concept that gametes carry one allele for each trait.

    Research and Outcomes

    • Mendel's five-part hypothesis is a research-based answer to scientific questions concerning inheritance.
    • When heterozygous round-seeded plants are crossed, there is a 25% probability for their offspring to have wrinkled seeds.
