While assigned to
teach, he was also
assigned to tend
the gardens and
grow vegetables

eat.

Not a great teacher
but well trained in
math, statistics,
probability,
physics, and
interested in plants
and heredity.
Gregor Mendel
“Father of Genetics”
Mountains with
short, cool growing
season meant pea
(Pisum sativum)
was an ideal crop
plant.
Gregor Mendel’s Work
• Starting in 1856 Mendel studied peas which he
grew in a garden out side the Abbey he lived in.
• Showed that the traits he studied behaved in a
precise mathematical way and disproved the
theory of "blended inheritance.”
• Mendel’s work was rediscovered in 1900 by
three botanists:
– Carl Correns (Germany)
– Erich von Tschermak (Austria)
– Hugo de Vries (Holland)
Why Peas?
Mendel used peas to study inheritance
because:
– True breeding commercial strains were
available
– Peas are easy to grow
– Peas have many easy to observe traits
including:
Consistency is
Good
Gene Expression
•
•
Each form of the particular gene is an
allele.
Alleles can be either
1. Dominant – always show trait - T
2. Recessive – only see if dominant trait absent – t
•
In order to see the trait expressed, 2
alleles must be paired together (one from
mom and one from dad)
T
+
t
Tt
Gene Expression
• Genes come in pairs that separate during
the formation of gametes (meiosis).
• The members of these pairs can be the
same (homozygous) or different
(heterozygous).
Practice:
Take out the Applying Genetics
Terminology paper and
complete.
You have 2 minutes.
Gene Expression
• When two alleles are paired we can
express them by their phenotype or
genotype.
– Phenotype – physical characteristics
• Ex. Tall, Short, Dark, Round, Wrinkled
– Genotype – the allele combination or genes
• Ex. AA, Aa, aa, Dd, Rr, rr, tt
Using terminology:
Results of Mendel’s monohybrid parental cross:
“Mendel’s Principle of Dominance”
F1 offspring of a monohybrid cross of true-breeding strains resemble only one of the
parents.
Why?
Smooth seeds (allele S) are completely dominant to wrinkled seeds (allele s).

“Mendel’s Principle of Segregation”:
•
Recessive characters masked in the F1 progeny of two
true-breeding strains, reappear in a specific
proportion of the F2 progeny.
•
Two members of a gene pair segregate (separate)
from each other during the formation of gametes.
Segregation
Monohybrid Crosses Yielded Consistent Results
Therefore, the Principle of Segregation indeed is a general principle of genetics.
Probability and Genetics
Equation for probability
NUMBER OF THINGS YOU
ARE LOOKING FOR
PROBABILITY = ----------------------------------TOTAL NUMBER OF THINGS
I have quarter in my pocket. What is
the probability that I get heads when
flipped?
Answer:
½
You have a total of 2 sides and 1 of them is heads.
I have 3 pennies and 5 nickels in
my pocket. If I pull out one coin
what is the probability that I get a
nickel?
Answer:
5/8
You have a total of 8 coins and 5 of them are nickels.
If I tossed a coin 100 times, how many
heads would you expect to get? Tails?
50
each
What if you didn’t get 50: 50?
How would you know if the numbers you got were good enough?

P = about 17%
If the probability (P) given in the table is high, it is very likely that this would occur
by chance, and we have a good “fit”. If P is low, we conclude that it is not likely
that the deviation observed would occur by chance alone.

coin). Toss your coins 100 times. Make
sure you record on the chart how many
