Teaching project #2 Final project **blood typing?? Heredity
adjective \ hə-ˈre-də-ˌter-ē\
1
a: genetically transmitted or transmittable from parent to offspring
“The passing on of traits from parents to child is the basis of heredity” Genes give instructions through a combination/ code that tells certain proteins to be made which result in a specific trait. Genes are contained within DNA and DNA makes up the chromosomes in the body ****need a picture: gene>DNA>chromosome*** Enviornment can affect the expression of the trait, for an example sunlight or chemicals when applied to the hair can cause the hair to become lighter than the original genetic
<trait?>. Parents pass genes to child through their chromosomes. Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes thereby resulting in a child with 46 chromosomes, 23x2=46. Normal body cells (somatic) have 46 chromosomes, but the sex cells (gamete) have half that number, 23 chromosomes.

Gregor Mendel’s brilliant experiments in the mid-1800s revealed the basic patterns by which traits are passed from parents to offspring. He discovered that hereditary determinants (genes) are discrete entities that do not blend in offspring; that genes come in different forms (e.g., dominant or recessive); and that genes pass from parent to offspring according to the laws of probability. In this activity, y ou’ll use a Punnett square and the principles of
Mendelian genetics to predict the types of gametes and offspring that are produced from crossing pea plants with different traits.
