The science of genetics was born in 1856, when an Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel performed an historic series of experiments on pea plants, thus discovering the laws of heredity. Gregor Mendel, The Father of Genetics

Incomplete Dominance Both alleles have an effect on the phenotype of the organism
Alleles are separated during gamete formation “Factors” determine traits Some alleles are dominant, and some alleles are recessive Pea plants Law of Dominance Law of Segregation Concept Map Mendel’s Principles Section 11-3 Gregor Mendel concluded that experimented with which is called the which is called the Today we know “Factors” are genes Go to Section:
