Chapter 14: Mendel and the Gene idea
Mendel and his Pea plant experiments
Why peas? What makes them a good study subject
What Mendel did (how the peas were crossed). And what he saw.
What did he learn that forms the basis for classical Mendelian genetics?
Classic Mendelian Genetics: character, allele, true-breeding, hybridization, P, F1, F2, dominances, recessive
Laws of segregation and independent assortment
Test Cross (why do it?)
Genetics problem sets
Laws of multiplication (how to use them)
Be able to create unique gametes from given genotypes (multiple alleles= more than 2)
Outcomes of monohybrid crosses
Probabilities of offspring given cross of parents w/ multiple alleles
Generally: know probability rules to solve any genetics problem
Sex-linked traits
Non-Mendelian Genetics (exceptions)
Incomplete dominance
Codominance
Multiple alleles
Pleiotrophy
Epistasis
Polygenetic inheritance
The role of the environment for determination of the phenotype (gene by environment interaction)
