    • Discuss and evaluate implications of using science to solve problems or issues.
    • Understand DNA's role in controlling traits.

    Gregor Mendel

    • Austrian monk who conducted experiments on pea plants to understand inheritance patterns.
    • Known as the "Father of Genetics" for discovering basic rules of trait inheritance.
    • Observed how traits were passed from generation to generation in pea plants.
    • Discovered the concepts of genes and alleles.

    Mendel's Experiments and Steps

    • Mendel bred pea plants with contrasting traits (e.g., color, shape).
    • He crossed "purebred" plants (homozygous) with contrasting traits.
    • Observed the traits in their offspring (F1 generation).
    • Crossed the F1 generation to observe subsequent generations (F2).
    • Determined that some traits (dominant) masked others (recessive).
    • Proposed that traits are controlled by factors (now called genes) and these factors come in pairs (alleles).

    Test Crosses

    • Used to determine the genotype of an organism showing a dominant trait (homozygous or heterozygous for the dominant allele).
    • The unknown genotype is crossed with a recessive genotype to determine potential outcomes and identify homozygous dominant.

    Mendel's Laws

    • Law of Segregation: Each individual has two alleles for each gene, and these alleles segregate (separate) during gamete formation, with only one allele passing to each offspring.
    • Law of Independent Assortment: The inheritance of one set of genes is independent of the inheritance of another set of genes.

    Other Inheritance Patterns

    • Codominance: Both alleles are expressed equally in the heterozygous individual (e.g., roan cow).
    • Incomplete Dominance: Both alleles blend their effects, producing an intermediate phenotype in the heterozygotes (e.g., pink snapdragons).
    • Multiple Alleles: Genes can have more than two alleles in a population (e.g., ABO blood types).
    • Polygenic Traits: Traits controlled by multiple genes (e.g., human height, skin color).
