Mendelian Genetics

hereditary materials mixed and can’t be separated in offspring- false

parents modify traits by use which is passed to offspring- false

parents transmit heritable factors (genes) which are distinct from one generation to the next

when self pollinated, the offspring are identical to parents

one trait and one genotype associated

two traits and two genotypes considered

dominant phenotype and unknown genotype and homozygous recessive phenotype crossed

same alleles

two different alleles

when present, always affects the phenotype

doesn’t affect phenotype when dominant is present

genetic makeup

physical appearance

diploid traits determined by combination of genes which are separated during gamete production and reunited in fertilization

segregation of alleles is independent for different traits when genes are on different chromosomes

genes on the same chromosome

genes on different chromosomes

genes associated with the x chromosome

allele is not fully dominant

phenotype determined by multiple genes

phenotype influenced by genotype and environment
