Detailed Summary Page 12
A trait is a specific characteristic that varies from one individual to another.
Examples: Brown hair,blue eyes,tall,curly
What is an Allele?
Alleles are the different possibilities for a given trait.
Every trait has at least two alleles (one from the mother and one from the father)
Example: Eye color - Brown,blue,green,hazel
What are Genes?
Genes are the sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait.
Gregor Mendel
Father of Genetics.
First important studies of heredity.
Identified specific traits in the garden pea and studied them from one generation to another.
Mendel’s Conclusions
Law of Segregation - Two alleles for each trait separate when gametes form,Parents pass only one allele for
each trait to each offspring.
Law of Independent Assortment - Genes for different traits are inherited independently of each other.
