14.2Crossing pea plants (“genetic crosses”) – Gregor Mendel(19th century) Discrete heritable factors
14.3Mendel tracked heritable characters for three generations Both purple and white=flowered plants appear in the F2 generation in a ratio of approximately 3:1

14.8Testing two hypotheses for segregation in a dihybrid cross. Do alleles sort independently? Recombinant phenotypes
14.9 Segregation of alleles and fertilization as chance events
1) Black fur in mice (B) is dominant to brown fur (b). Short tails (T) is dominant to long tails (t). What proportion of the progeny of the cross BbTt multiply BBtt will have black fur and long tails? A) 6/16 B) 8/16 C) 9/16 D) 3/16 E) 1/16 2) Tallness (T) is dominant to dwarfness (t), while red (R) flower color is dominant to white (r). The heterozygous condition results in pink (Rr) flower color. A dwarf red snapdragon is crossed with a plant homozygous for tallness and white flowers. What are the genotype and phenotype of the F1 individuals? A) TtRr - tall and pink B) ttRr - dwarf and pink C) TtRr - tall and red D) TTRR - tall and red E) ttrr - dwarf and white

Large families provide excellent case studies of human genetics Albinism Cystic fibrosis Huntington’s disease
Concept 14.1. Two laws of inheritance (Mendel) Concept 14.2. Applying the law of probability to Mendelian genetics. Concept 14.3. Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by Mendelian genetics. Concept 14.4. Many human traits follow Mendelian patterns Also look at tips for solving genetic problems (p. 283).
