Studyofheredityandvariation
Genenes basic unit of inheritance
Typeinherited from parents that
determinecharacteristics
Father of genetics GregorMendel
investigating transfer of characteristicsfrom generations
GENETICTRAITS HUMANS
Gene Asection of DNA that controls hereditary traits
Geneticlocusposition of alleles on chromosome
Genepool set of all genes in a population
Allelesgenesresponsibleforcontrollingdifferent versions of a trait

GregoryMendel
1860s exeriments with breedingpeas
principles of segregation andindependent assortment
ConductedExperiments
1Transferredpollen from pure breeding tall plant to pistil of pure
breeding short pea plant
2 Collected sowed the seeds
3 TheF1generation allgrewinto tall plants
allowed to cross pollinate
4 Fageneration results showed tall short
traits don'tdisappear Recessive mayshow up in future generations
