    Georg Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants between 1856-1863. He found that when he cross-pollinated pea plants with different traits, like seed color (yellow vs. green), the offspring or F1 generation always exhibited one trait over the other (dominant over recessive). When he allowed the F1 plants to self-pollinate, the F2 generation exhibited a predictable ratio of traits, like 3 yellow seeds to 1 green seed. This led Mendel to propose his Law of Segregation, which states that organisms inherit two alleles for each trait, one from each parent, and that the alleles segregate or separate during gamete formation and randomly unite during fertilization.

    Georg Mendel

    Austrian monk
    • born in 1822
    • in monastery known for
    research and teaching
    • after his death (1884)
    acknowledgment of his discoveries in 1900
    Experiments with Pea Plants
    - Seed coat colour (gray or white)
    - Seed shape (round or wrinkled)
    - Seed colour (yellow or green)
    - Pod colour (green or yellow)
    - Flower position (axial or
    terminal)
    - Pod shape (inflated or
    constricted)
    - Stem length (tall or dwarf)
    Cross-Pollination of Purebread Plants
    - cross-pollination between
    true breeding green and
    yellow pods
    - all F1 green

    F1 Generation
    Gg = heterozygous
    F2 Generation
    - self-pollination of green F1 plants
    - ¾ in F2 green,
    ¼ yellow
    - 3 : 1 ratio in pod colour in F2

    G = dominant = green
    g = recessive = yellow

    GG, gg = homozygous
    Seed Colour

    C = dominant = yellow
    c = recessive = green

    Mendel‘s Generalization
    1. Alternative versions of genes account for
    variations in inherited characters
    - concept of alleles (G=green, g=yellow)

    2. For each character, an organism inherits two


    genes, one from each parent
    - two gametes form somatic cells
    - one allele comes from the mother,
    one from the father
    Mendel‘s Generalization

    3. If the two alleles differ, then:


    - dominant allele is fully expressed in the
    organism's appearance (phenotype)
    - recessive allele has no noticeable effect on the
    organism's appearance (genotype)

    4. The two genes for each character segregate


    during gamete production
    - ensures variation
    Law of Segregation
    • the pair of alleles of each parent
    separate and only one allele passes
    from each parent on to an offspring
    • which allele in a parent's pair of
    alleles is inherited is a matter of
    chance 
    • segregation of alleles occurs during
    the process of gamete formation
    (meiosis)
    • randomly unite at fertilization
