Introduction
● Gregor Mendel
- “Father of Genetics”
- Realised “something” passed from parent to offspring



Genes
● section of DNA
● Passed from parent to offspring
● Codes for a hereditary characteristic
● basic unit of heredity in living organisms

● Chromosome -> DNA -> Gene

● non-coding genes
○ Do not code for proteins
○ 98% of genes (2% of our DNA codes for proteins)
○ Occur between coding sections

● Each cell contains two alleles at a particular locus
● Locus: a position on a chromosome
● Alleles: version of a gene
○ found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes
○ alleles for purple or white colour of flowers
○ passed from parents to offspring by chromosomes in gametes

● Dominant allele: variant of gene that will be expressed in phenotype of heterozygous
organism
● Recessive allele: variant of gene that will be suppressed in phenotype of heterozygous
organism
