Essential Question: How did Mendel help us study genetics through hybrid crosses?

Questions: Notes:

Mendels law of Segregation:

What is Mendels
law, and how can it
help you with Mendels law of segregation states that the 2 alleles
genetics? (L2) of each gene pair separate into different gametes as these are
` formed prior to reproduction.

This means that the 2 alleles (AA. Aa, or aa) all separate and are
no longer with each other.

What is the law of

dominance? (L1)
Law of Dominance:

The law of dominance states that if 2 alleles at a locus differ, then

one determines the organisms appearance, and the other has no

would look like. This image above shows a cross between a red and white rose
(L4) having an offspring of a pink rose.

Co- Dominance: (homozygous dominant)

Co- dominance has an offspring of a striped organism.

NO BLENDING

Ex:
White and red dog= offspring of a dog with a pattern of red and
white stripes.
Summary:
I learned that Mendel is the father of genetics. I also learned that he used pea plants and saw a pattern. Mendel
helped us learn more about genetics by giving us examples of co- dominance and incomplete dominances of
organism. For example, in a co-dominant offspring, an organism has no blending between the parents. This leads
us to the organism being striped or dotted. In a incomplete dominance organism, the two colors of both the mother
and father are both blended together. For example, a white and red rose will produce an offspring of a pink rose
because white + red makes pink. As you can see, Mendel helps a lot with genetics.
