Law of Independent Assortment
Mendel performed dihybrid crosses in garden peas to study inheritance of two traits simultaneously. He found that the alleles for each trait sorted independently during gamete formation, resulting in a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio in the offspring (F2 generation). This led Mendel to formulate his Law of Independent Assortment, which states that allele pairs for different traits assort independently during meiosis. His findings demonstrated that inheritance of one trait does not influence inheritance of another trait.
Mendel,s law of segregation( monohybrid cross)
Mendel's law of segregation describes how contrasting traits segregate in a monohybrid cross over two generations. In the F1 generation, the traits remain together, but in the F2 generation they segregate such that each gamete receives one of the two alleles. Mendel demonstrated this by crossing true-breeding tall and dwarf pea plants. The F1 generation was uniformly tall, but the F2 generation showed a 3:1 ratio of tall to dwarf plants, with genotypic ratios of 1:2:1 for pure tall:hybrid tall:dwarf.
Lethal allele
This document discusses lethal alleles, which are alleles that cause death in an organism. It defines lethal alleles and provides a brief history of their discovery through early studies of coat color inheritance in mice. The document outlines four types of lethal alleles: early onset alleles that cause death early in life, late onset alleles that cause death late in life, conditional alleles that only cause death under certain environmental conditions, and semi-lethal alleles that only kill some individuals, not all. It provides the example of the Y gene in mice, which causes a yellow coat color but is lethal when present in the homozygous dominant state (YY), though not in the heterozygous or recessive states.
THE LAWS OF MENDEL
Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who conducted breeding experiments with pea plants in the 1850s and 1860s. Through his experiments, he discovered the laws of inheritance, known today as Mendel's Laws. His work showed that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units (now known as genes) that segregate and assort independently. However, his findings were initially rejected and not widely accepted until the turn of the 20th century, when his laws were independently rediscovered. Mendel's work established the foundation of classical genetics and heredity.
Introduction to Mendelian Genetics
This document provides an introduction to Mendelian genetics. It discusses Gregor Mendel's pioneering work in the field in the 1800s, which laid the foundations for genetics but was not recognized until 1900. It defines key genetic terminology such as alleles, genotypes, and phenotypes. It also describes Mendel's experiments breeding pea plants and his conclusions, including the laws of dominance, segregation, and independent assortment. Mendel demonstrated that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units of inheritance now known as genes.
Mendel's law
The document summarizes Mendel's laws of inheritance based on his experiments with pea plants. It discusses Mendel's discovery of the laws of dominance, segregation, and independent assortment through monohybrid and dihybrid crosses. The law of dominance states that one trait will mask the other in hybrid offspring. The law of segregation explains that alleles separate during gamete formation so each gamete contains one allele. The law of independent assortment says that allele pairs assort independently, resulting in multiple allele combinations in offspring. Mendel's laws explained inheritance of traits for the first time.
Incomplete and co dominance
This document discusses three genetic inheritance patterns: dominance, incomplete dominance, and co-dominance. Dominance occurs when one allele is expressed over the other. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype is intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes. Examples include flowers and hair color. Co-dominance occurs when both alleles are fully expressed in the heterozygote, so the phenotype shows traits of both. Examples given are coat color in horses and cattle, and chestnut and white coat colors producing a palomino horse.

Through his experiments crossing thousands of pea plants, he discovered the basic principles of heredity, including dominance, segregation, and independent assortment. His work showed that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units (now known as genes) that can be dominant or recessive.
Chromosomal theory of inheritance
This theory proposes that hereditary traits are transmitted from one generation to the next through chromosomes and gametes. Gametes contain only one set of chromosomes and fuse during fertilization to restore the paired chromosome condition. Chromosomes are replicated and passed from parents to offspring, behaving in accordance with Mendel's laws of inheritance and explaining the mechanism of inheritance. Sex is determined by sex chromosomes, which can be of the XX-XY, ZZ-ZW, or XX-XO types.
Epistasis and its different types
Epistasis refers to the phenomenon where the effect of one gene is dependent on the presence of other genes. There are different types of epistatic interactions: dominant epistasis occurs when a dominant allele of one gene masks the effect of alleles at another gene locus; recessive epistasis occurs when a recessive allele of one gene hides the effects of alleles at another locus; and duplicate recessive genes, or complementary genes, produce the same phenotype only when both genes have homozygous recessive alleles. Epistasis can modify expected Mendelian ratios from crosses.
Epistasis
The document discusses different types of epistatic interactions, including dominant and recessive epistasis where one gene hides the effects of another gene. It provides examples of different epistatic ratios seen in traits like eye color in Drosophila and fruit shape in plants. The types of epistasis covered include dominant, recessive, duplicate recessive genes, and genes with cumulative effects.
Genetics, mendelian laws
Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that allele pairs separate independently during gamete formation, meaning traits are transmitted independently of one another. Mendel demonstrated this through dihybrid crosses in pea plants, which resulted in a 9:3:3:1 ratio of traits in the offspring. His work established that inheritance follows simple probabilistic rules and discrete factors (genes) are passed from parents to offspring according to the laws of chance.
SEX DETERMINATION (GENETICS)
Sex determination in humans and many other organisms is controlled genetically by sex chromosomes. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The SRY gene on the Y chromosome determines male development. Other common sex determination systems include the XX-XO system in insects where females are XX and males XO, and the ZW-ZZ system in birds where females are ZW and males ZZ. Single genes have also been found to determine sex in some species like Drosophila and maize.

sex determination
This document discusses sex determination and sex expression in animals. It defines key terms like sex chromosomes, autosomes, and allosomes. It describes four main mechanisms of sex determination: sex characters, chromosomal sex determination, monogenic sex determination, and environmental sex determination. For chromosomal sex determination, it provides details on the XX-XY, XX-XO, XO-XX, and ZW-ZZ systems. It also discusses genic balance theory and sex mosaicism in Drosophila.
Chromosome theory of inheritance
The chromosome theory of inheritance states that chromosomes contain genes and are responsible for Mendel's principles of segregation and independent assortment during meiosis. Thomas Hunt Morgan's experiments with fruit flies led to the discovery of sex linkage, where genes on the X chromosome show different inheritance patterns between males and females. Nettie Stevens' analysis of beetle karyotypes revealed that females have two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y chromosome, establishing the sex chromosome system. Morgan then used this information to propose X-linked inheritance for white eye color in fruit flies, providing support for the chromosome theory of inheritance.
Multiple allele
Multiple alleles occur when there are more than two allelic forms of a given gene in a species. Examples include blood groups in humans and coat color in mice. The ABO blood group gene in humans has three alleles - IA, IB, and i - which determine blood types A, B, AB, and O. Coat color in mice is also determined by multiple alleles at a single gene locus, with alleles for black, brown, agouti, gray, and albino hair colors exhibiting a dominance hierarchy. Multiple alleles always influence the same trait and occupy the same locus on chromosomes, with no crossing over between member alleles of a multiple allelic series.
Monohybrid cross
A monohybrid cross is a cross between two individuals differing in one character pair, such as tall vs dwarf plants. The F1 generation produced from this cross is then self-pollinated to produce the F2 generation. In a monohybrid cross involving a dominant tall trait and recessive dwarf trait, the F1 generation will all be tall, while the F2 generation will exhibit a 3:1 phenotypic ratio of tall to dwarf plants.
MIC150 - Chap 2 Extension Of Mendelian Genetics
This document discusses extensions of Mendelian genetics beyond simple dominant-recessive inheritance. It introduces concepts like codominance, incomplete dominance, multiple alleles, lethal alleles, and linked genes. Codominance occurs when both alleles for a gene are fully expressed in the heterozygote. In incomplete dominance, the heterozygote exhibits an intermediate phenotype between the homozygotes. Multiple alleles exist at a single gene locus with more than two allelic forms. Lethal alleles cause death if homozygous. Linked genes tend to be inherited together due to their proximity on the same chromosome.
Epistasis
Epistasis is a Greek word that means standing over .Bateson used it to describe the masking effect in 1909.
An interaction between a pair of loci in which the phenotype effect of one locus depends on the genotype at the second locus.
Genes whose phenotypes are ;
Expressed,epistatic.
Altered or suppressed hypostatic.
Interaction of genes
Introduction :
Mendel and subsequent workers assumed that a character was governed by a single gene.
But it was later discovered that many characters in almost all the organisms are governed by two or more genes. Such gene affect the development of concerned characters in various ways.
The phenomenon of two or more gene affecting the expression of each other in various ways in the development of a single character of on organism is known as gene interaction.
Linkage
- Linkage refers to the tendency of genes located near each other on the same chromosome to be inherited together during meiosis. This is because genes located close together on a chromosome move together to the same pole during cell division.
- There are different types of linkage based on whether crossing over occurs, the genes involved, and the chromosomes. Linkage can be complete or incomplete depending on the presence or absence of crossing over. It can involve dominant or recessive alleles.
- Linkage is detected through test crosses, where deviations from expected Mendelian ratios indicate genes are linked. The strength of linkage depends on distance between genes, with closer genes showing stronger linkage.
Cytoplasmic inheritance
This document discusses Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance. It provides examples of cytoplasmic inheritance including the inheritance of chloroplast genes in Mirabilis jalapa, where the phenotype is determined by the genotype of the female parent through cytoplasmic/plastid transmission, not the genes in the nucleus. It also discusses inheritance involving cytoplasmic particles like kappa particles in Paramecium, which are transmitted maternally but whose production is controlled by nuclear genes. The key differences between Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance are summarized in a table.
Penetrance and expressivity
This document presents information about penetrance and expressivity for Sir Faisal Iqbal. It defines penetrance as the percentage of individuals that show expression of a mutant genotype. Expressivity reflects the range of expression of the mutant genotype. An example is given of the eyeless gene in flies, which can result in normal eyes to complete absence of eyes. Penetrance and expressivity are used to study the degree of expression of a trait quantitatively. Phenotypic mutations can occur due to reasons other than genotype, such as genetic background and environmental factors.
Law of segregation
1. Mendel proposed three laws of inheritance: the law of dominance and recessive, the law of segregation, and the law of independent assortment.
2. The law of segregation states that when hybrids form gametes, the alleles separate and only one enters each gamete, maintaining the purity of gametes.
3. The law of independent assortment describes inheritance of more than one trait, with the alleles for each trait assorting independently of other traits during gamete formation.
Mendellian Inheritance and Gene Action
The document summarizes Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plants that laid the foundation for the modern understanding of genetics and heredity. It discusses Mendel's observations of inherited traits in pea plants and how this led him to discover the three laws of inheritance: 1) the law of dominance, 2) the law of segregation, and 3) the law of independent assortment. It also explains some of Mendel's experimental methods and variables he controlled that contributed to his success, such as choosing simple and contrasting traits to study. Finally, it provides examples of genetic crosses and inheritance patterns including monohybrid and dihybrid crosses using Punnett squares.
Gene interaction
This document discusses different types of gene interaction:
1. It defines gene interaction as two or more genes affecting the expression of a single character in an organism.
2. It classifies gene interactions into allelic/non-epistatic interactions which follow classical Mendelian ratios, and non-allelic/epistatic interactions where genes on the same or different chromosomes interact.
3. Epistatic genes suppress or mask the expression of other genes, called hypostatic genes. Epistatic gene interactions are further classified into six types based on how the genes influence each other.
Law of segregation
Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants, observing seven characteristics with distinct variations. He cross-pollinated purebred plants with different characteristics, such as green and yellow pod plants. The resulting F1 generation always expressed one characteristic, such as green pods. When self-pollinating the F1 plants, the F2 generation expressed characteristics in predictable ratios, such as 3 green pods to 1 yellow pod. This supported Mendel's theory that inherited characteristics are determined by discrete units (genes and alleles) that segregate and are transmitted from parents to offspring.
Mendels law
Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants to develop his laws of heredity. Through crosses involving one or two traits, he discovered that traits are passed to offspring through discrete units (now known as genes and alleles) and that alleles segregate and assort independently. His laws of segregation and independent assortment explained inheritance patterns through generations and the ratios of traits in offspring. Mendel's work established genetics as a science and his principles remain fundamental to inheritance.
Mendel concept of genetics
Gregor Johann Mendel (1822-1884) was an Augustinian monk and scientist who conducted breeding experiments with pea plants between 1856-1863. He cultivated and tested over 28,000 pea plants, finding that their offspring retained traits from their parents. Mendel's experiments led him to propose the laws of inheritance and hypothesize that traits are transmitted by "particles" (now known as genes). Although his work was largely ignored during his lifetime, it formed the foundation of modern genetics when it was rediscovered in 1900.

Mendelian inheritance
Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants in the 1860s to study inheritance of traits. He discovered three principles of heredity:
1) The law of dominance states that if one allele is dominant and the other recessive, the dominant allele will mask the recessive allele's effects and determine the organism's appearance.
2) The law of segregation explains that during gamete formation, each offspring receives one of two alleles for each trait at random from each parent.
3) The law of independent assortment shows that two or more genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation. Mendel's discoveries formed the foundation of classical genetics.
Beyond mendel
Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who conducted experiments on pea plants in the 1850s and 1860s that formed the basis of modern genetics. Through meticulous experiments involving over 28,000 pea plants, he identified two principles of heredity that later became known as Mendel's laws of inheritance. However, his work was not widely recognized until 1900. Mendel made important contributions to our understanding of inheritance, including the concepts of dominance, recessiveness, and independent assortment.
EDU 04
Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who is considered the father of genetics. He conducted breeding experiments with pea plants from 1854 to 1863, studying inheritance patterns of traits like plant height and seed color. His experiments led to the discovery of the fundamental laws of inheritance, including the law of dominance, the law of segregation, and the law of independent assortment. Although his findings were published in 1866, they were largely ignored until the early 20th century, when his principles became widely accepted and formed the foundation of genetics.

Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants in the 1860s to understand the inheritance of traits. He found that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete factors, now known as genes. His experiments led him to formulate three principles: 1) The law of dominance, which states that some gene variants (alleles) are dominant over others. 2) The law of segregation, where each parent passes only one of their two alleles to offspring, who inherit alleles independently. 3) The law of independent assortment, where different genes are passed to offspring independently of one another. Mendel's principles formed the foundation of classical genetics.

Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants in the mid-19th century and discovered three principles of heredity:
1) The law of dominance states that if one trait is dominant over another, the dominant trait will express itself in offspring.
2) The law of segregation explains that each parent passes only one of two alleles to offspring, and these alleles segregate or separate during gamete formation.
3) The law of independent assortment shows that different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation, meaning the inheritance of one trait does not influence the inheritance of another trait. Mendel's principles formed the foundation of classical genetics.

Discuss the methods Mendel utilized in his research that led to his success in understanding the process of inheritance
The science community ignored the paper, possibly because it was ahead of the ideas of heredity and variation accepted at the time. In the early 1900s, 3 plant biologists finally acknowledged Mendel’s work. Unfortunately, Mendel was not around to receive the recognition as he had died in 1884.
Biology
Codominance is when both alleles of a gene are fully expressed in a heterozygote. For example, individuals with one curly hair allele and one straight hair allele have wavy hair, which is a blend of both traits. Codominance results in a third phenotype that expresses both parental traits together. Mendel's law of independent assortment states that alleles of different genes assort independently during gamete formation such that all combinations of alleles are possible.

Genetics and its history with gregor mendel law
Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants in the mid-1800s that laid the foundations of genetics. Through his experiments, he discovered three principles: 1) the law of segregation, which states that alleles separate during gamete formation, 2) the law of independent assortment, which demonstrates that traits carried on different chromosomes assort independently, and 3) the law of dominance, where one allele is dominant and masks the presence of the recessive allele. Mendel's work was largely ignored until the early 1900s but provided the basic concepts still used in genetics today.
2014 historyofgenetics
The document provides a history of genetics, beginning with ancient observations of inheritance and selective breeding. It describes early incorrect ideas that were later disproven, such as spontaneous generation and inheritance of acquired traits. A major breakthrough was Gregor Mendel's experiments in the 1860s which demonstrated genes and inheritance patterns but went largely unnoticed. In the early 1900s, Mendel's work was rediscovered and linked to chromosomes by Thomas Hunt Morgan. In 1953, Watson and Crick determined DNA's double helix structure, explaining its role in heredity and linking genetics to molecular biology.

Mendelian genetics mee
Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants between 1856-1863 and discovered the laws governing inheritance of traits. He found that traits are inherited through discrete units called genes, and that these genes are passed from parents to offspring. Mendel's work established that genes exist in pairs and segregate independently during gamete formation, resulting in a predictable pattern of inheritance. His laws of inheritance include dominance, where the dominant trait masks the recessive trait, and segregation, where alleles separate during gamete formation. Mendel's discoveries formed the foundation of genetics although his work was not widely recognized until years after his death.

Principle of inheritance
This document summarizes several principles of Mendel's laws of inheritance:
1. Mendel conducted hybridization experiments on peas from 1856-1863 and proposed the basic laws of inheritance in organisms.
2. Inheritance follows patterns of dominance, with one allele expressing itself over the other in a gene pair. Mendel also described the law of segregation where alleles do not blend but are recovered unchanged in subsequent generations.
3. The principle of independent assortment holds that different genes independently separate from one another during the formation of reproductive cells, as Mendel first observed in his pea plant experiments.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Mendel´s third law; Law of Independent Assortment
- 1. Mendel´s Third Law Independent Assortment RAFAEL GONZÁLEZ GRACIANI 10ºA
- 2. Index 1. Introduction; What are the Mendel´s laws? 2. Who was Gregor Mendel? 3. What is the third Mendel´s law? 4. What process does independent assortment law follows? 5. Additional Content 6. Bibliography / References
- 3. Introduction; what are the Mendel´s laws? We could define Mendel´s laws as the basic laws that talks about the inheritance of biological features that every human being has. They were created by Gregor Johann Mendel in 1865. Mendel created three laws: The law of Segregation, the law of Independent Assortment and the law of Dominance. However, in my project I am going to focus on the law of Independent Assortment.
- 4. Who was Gregor Mendel? Gregor Johann Mendel was a really famous scientist that discovered the basic laws of inheritance. They were called Mendel´s laws. He was born on July 20th of 1822 in Austria and he died on January 6th 1884. He was a Catholic Augustinian. Referring to Mendel; the first investigations in genetics were done by Mendel. He started to get some conclusions. Their results found dominant characters that are characterized by determining the effect of a recessive gene and to have no genetic effect (say, expression) of a heterozygous phenotype.
- 5. What is the third Mendel's law? “Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes” “The Law of Independent Assortment, said that separate genes for separate traits are passed independently of one another from parents to offspring”
- 6. What process does independent assortment law follows? “Two pairs of genes (alleles) segregate independently of each other. Each character is independently inherited, and such characters combine randomly in all possible mathematical proportions. Interpreting the experiment If we study two characters such as stem length and pod color we can observe the following: The dominant allele A determines tall plants; the recessive a determines dwarf plants. The dominant allele B determines green pods; and the recessive b determines yellow pod. If we cross homozygous tall green-colored pod plants (AABB) with dwarf yellow-colored pod plants (aabb), all of the F1 generation is tall green- colored pod (AaBb). As those hybrids are allowed to self-pollinate (if the two characters segregate independently the gametes produced are: AB, Ab, aB, ab), the phenotypic ratio of the F2 generation is a 9:3:3:1. “
