Genetics: The Study of Heredity
1.
worked with peas and discovered traits are passed down from parents to offspring.
2. He first created
generations.
3. When a pure green seed plant was fertilized with a pure yellow seed plant, the seeds from their offspring
were
in color. They are not pure. Instead, they are
.
4. The inherited factors passed down to offspring are known as
.
5. Each gene has different forms called
. Some alleles are dominant and others are
recessive. In the case of these pea seed colors, which is dominant?
6. Complete the 3rd Punnett Square down on the left side of the handout. Label the Mother and Father “P
Generation.” Give the percent chances that the offspring will show the dominant and recessive traits.
7. Mendel then grew the F1 generation plants. All seeds were this color
. When mature,
plants pollinated with each other to create the F2 generation.
8. Complete the 4th Punnett Square down on the handout. Label the Mother & Father “F1 Generation.” Give
the percent chances that the offspring will show the dominant and recessive traits.
9. In that Punnett Square, what’s the chance of being:
Homozygous dominant? ______ Homozygous recessive? ______ Heterozygous? ______
