Mendel\u2019s Principles of Heredity
Synopsis
Chapter 1 covers the basic principles of inheritance that can be summarized as Mendel\u2019s Laws of
Segregation (for one gene) and Independent Assortment (for more than one gene).
Key terms
genes and alleles of genes \u2013 A gene determines a trait, and different alleles or forms of a
gene exist. The color gene in peas has two alleles: yellow and green.
genotype and phenotype \u2013 Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism (written as
alleles of specific genes), while phenotype is how the organism looks.
homozygous and heterozygous \u2013 When both alleles of a gene are the same, the
individual is homozygous for that gene (or pure breeding). If the two alleles are
different, the organism is heterozygous (also called a hybrid).
dominant and recessive \u2013 The dominant allele is the one that controls phenotype in the
heterozygous genotype; the recessive allele controls phenotype only in a homozygote.
monohybrid or dihybrid cross \u2013 a cross between individuals who are both heterozygotes
for one gene (monohybrid) or for two genes (dihybrid).
testcross \u2013 performed to determine if an individual with the dominant characteristic is
homozygous or heterozygous: An individual with the dominant phenotype but
unknown genotype is crossed with an individual with the recessive phenotype.
Key ratios
3:1 \u2013 Ratio of progeny phenotypes in a cross between monohybrids
[Aa \u00d7 Aa \u2192 3 A\u2013 (dominant phenotype) : 1 aa (recessive phenotype)]
1:2:1 \u2013 Ratio of progeny genotypes in a cross between monohybrids
(Aa \u00d7 Aa \u2192 1 AA : 2 Aa : 1aa)
1:1 \u2013 Ratio of progeny genotypes in a cross between a heterozygote and a recessive homozygote
(Aa \u00d7 aa \u2192 1 Aa : 1aa)
1:0 \u2013 All progeny are the same phenotype. Can result from either of two cases:
[AA \u00d7 \u2013 \u2013 \u2192 A\u2013 (all dominant phenotype)]
[aa \u00d7 aa \u2192 aa (all recessive phenotype)]
9:3:3:1 \u2013 Ratio of progeny phenotypes in a dihybrid cross
(Aa Bb \u00d7 Aa Bb \u2192 9 A\u2013 B\u2013 : 3 A\u2013 bb : 3 aa B\u2013 : 1 aa bb)

Problem Solving
The essential component of solving most genetics problems is to DIAGRAM THE CROSS in a
consistent manner. Usually you will be given information about phenotypes, so the diagram would
be:
Phenotype of one parent \u00d7 phenotype of the other parent \u2192 phenotype(s) of progeny
The goal is to assign genotypes to the parents and then use these predicted genotypes to generate
the genotypes, phenotypes, and ratios of progeny. If the predicted progeny match the observed
data you were provided, then your genetic explanation is plausible.
The points listed below will be particularly helpful in guiding your problem solving:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
