Concept explainers

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.

Question

Explain Mendel’s laws of inheritance.

Features of a Concept Features of a Concept Characteristics are discrete; that is, they are unitary. Genetic features have alternative forms, and each feature is inherited from one of the two parents. These are called alleles. One allele is dominant over the other allele. The dominant allele is reflected in the phenotype. Random segregation creates the gametes. The heterozygotic individuals produce gametes with an equal frequency of both alleles. Genes are unlinked; that is, different traits arise from the independent assortment.
