Gregor Mendel 1822-1884
I. ALLELES • Any organism has two units of heredity (genes) for each trait in every body cell
II. SEGREGATION • The two units (genes) for a trait are separated in the cell; one gene is found on a chromosome while the other is located in the same place on its partner (homologous) chromosome
III. DOMINANCE • A. When two genes of a trait are different in the cells of the organism, the gene that shows up is the dominant while the gene that remains hidden is the recessive • B. Combinations of the two genes (genotypes) 1. Homozygous (pure) dominant - both genes are dominant 2. Homozygous (pure) recessive - both genes are recessive 3. Heterozygous (hybrid) - one gene is dominant & the other is recessive
IV. RECOMBINATION - (INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT) • In each new generation there is a complete new rearrangement of the units of heredity (genes)

Generation “Gap” • Parental P1 Generation= the parental generation in a breeding experiment. • F1 generation= the first-generation offspring in a breeding experiment. (1st filial generation) • From breeding individuals from the P1 generation • F2 generation= the second-generation offspring in a breeding experiment. (2nd filial generation) • From breeding individuals from the F1 generation
Thomas Hunt Morgan 1866-1945
INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE • A condition in which both alleles for a characteristic are partially expressed
R R W W Incomplete Dominance • F1 hybrids have an appearance somewhat in between or a blend of the phenotypes of the two parental varieties. • Example:snapdragons (flower) • red (RR) x white (WW) • R = red flower • W = white flower
R R produces the F1 generation RW RW RW RW All RW = pink (heterozygous pink) Incomplete Dominance W W
CODOMINANCE • A condition in which both alleles for a characteristic are fully expressed
normal - trichromatic color vision protanopia red-green blindness (no red cones) deutanopia red-green blindness (no green cones) tritanopia blue-yellow blindness (no blue cones) typical achromatopsia (no cones; rod monochromat) protanomaly (anomalous red cones) deutanomaly (anomalous green cones) tritanomaly (anomalous blue cones) atypical achromatopsia (low cones; cone monochromat) TYPES OF COLOR BLINDNESS
Sex-linked Traits • Traits (genes) located on the sex chromosomes • Sex chromosomes are X and Y • XX genotype for females • XY genotype for males • Many sex-linked traits carried on X chromosome
