2 Gregor Mendel Discovered the basic principles of heredity
Worked with pea plantsStudied 7 different traits
3 Mendel’s Peas Self-pollination - using sperm & egg of the SAME plant
Results in offspring IDENTICAL to the parentCross-pollination – using sperm & egg from two DIFFERENT plantsResults in offspring with traits from BOTH parents
4 Mendel’s Observations
Crossed pure breeding yellow (yy) pod plants with pure breeding and green (YY) pod plantsTo his surprise, ALL the offspring had green (Yy) pods!!!
5 Mendel’s Observations
Crossed heterozygous green (Yy) with heterozygous green (Yy).Result= 3 green pods : 1 yellow pod
6 How did the yellow pod reappear??
SayWhaT??
7 Mendel’s Conclusions Two conclusions:
Individuals carry two alleles for each trait, but pass down only one allele to offspringOne allele is dominant over the other.
8 Mendel’s ConclusionsWhen present, dominant alleles will always be expressedRecessive alleles will only be expressed if there are 2 presentEX: Tall dominant over shortEX: Yellow seeds dominant over green seeds
