What is Genetics? • Passing of traits from parents to offspring is called Heredity • Scientific Study of Heredity is called Genetics
Gregor Mendel 1822-1884 • Austrian Priest • First to study ge_____ • He grew p____ plants to study genetics netics ea
Mendel’s Experiment • What would happen if you cross pollinate a tall plant with short plant? • Why?
What is a allele? • One part of a gene pair. Alleles represent different varieties of one trait such as height of pea plant. • Two alleles form a gene pair
What is a Dominant Allele? • One whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present • Dominant allele is represented by a CAPITAL letter
What is a Recessive Allele? • A recessive allele is always covered up or masked whenever the dominant allele is present • Recessive allele is represented by a lowercase letter
Genotype Phenotype TT X tt Tt X Tt TT Tt Tt tt
What are Genotype & Phenotype? • Phenotype: Physical appearance • Genotype: Genetic makeup
