Study Notes
Mendel's One-Trait Inheritance
- Parents are referred to as the P Generation.
- Offspring of the P Generation are called the First Filial Generation (F1).
- Offspring of the F1 Generation are called the Second Filial Generation (F2).
- Crossing purebred purple flowers with white flowers produces all purple flowers in the F1 Generation.
- Crossing the F1 Generation with each other produces purple flowers and white flowers in a 3:1 ratio.
- Homozygous dominant (AA) crossed with Homozygous recessive (aa) produces genotypes Aa and phenotypes Axial.
- Heterozygous (Aa) crossed with Heterozygous (Aa) produces genotypes AA, Aa, and aa, and phenotypes Axial and Terminal.
Mendel's Laws
- Mendel's Law of Segregation states that during gamete formation, each gene separates from each other, so each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.
Two-Trait Inheritance
- The law of independent assortment states that a pair of traits segregates independently of another pair during gamete formation.
Genetic Disorders
- Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder where the blood does not clot properly.
- Hemophilia leads to spontaneous bleeding and bleeding following injuries or surgery.
- Blood contains many proteins called clotting factors that help to stop bleeding.
