Gregor Mendel experimented with pea plants and discovered the principles of inheritance, including dominance and segregation. He found that traits are determined by discrete factors, now known as genes, which are inherited from parents. Offspring receive one of each pair of genes from their parents. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and genes segregate so each gamete receives one of each gene. This ensures genetic variation in offspring.
1. Analyzing Inheritance Offspring resemble their parents. Offspring inherit genes for characteristics from their parents. To learn about inheritance, scientists have experimented with breeding various plants and animals. In each experiment shown in the table on the next slide, two pea plants with different characteristics were bred. Then, the offspring produced were bred to produce a second generation of offspring. Consider the data and answer the questions that follow. Section 11-1 Interest Grabber
2. 1. In the first generation of each experiment, how do the characteristics of the offspring compare to the parents’ characteristics? 2. How do the characteristics of the second generation compare to the characteristics of the first generation?

Tall pea plant crossed (TT) with a short (tt) 3. Studied the offspring (F1 generation) a. Offspring are termed hybrids i. Offspring of parents with different traits b. All the offspring had the characteristics of only 1 of the parents i. Ex. F1 were all tall
5. 4. Mendel drew 2 conclusions: a. Inheritance determined by factors (now genes) passed on from 1 generation to the next b. Principle of Dominance – some alleles are dominant and others are recessive
7. B. Mendel’s Next Experiments 1. Wanted to answer: What happened to the recessive allele? 2. Allowed the F1 generation to self-pollinate a. Ex. Tall (Tt) x tall (Tt) 3. Results were: a. The recessive trait reappeared
8. 4. Explanation: a. Alleles separate or segregate during the formation of gametes (sex cells) b. The alleles separate so that each gamete carries 1 copy of each gene c. Each F1 plant made 2 types of gametes i. 1 for tallness ii. 1 for shortness Mendel's laws of genetic inheritance

67. Section 1 Answers 1. In the first generation of each experiment, how do the characteristics of the offspring compare to the parents’ characteristics? All offspring had the same characteristic, which was like one of the parents’. The other characteristic seemed to have disappeared. 2. How do the characteristics of the second generation compare to the characteristics of the first generation? Both characteristics appeared in this generation. The characteristic that had “disappeared” in the first generation did not appear as often as the other characteristic. (It appears about 25 percent of the time.) Interest Grabber Answers
68. Section 2 Answers Interest Grabber Answers 1. Assuming that you expect 5 heads and 5 tails in 10 tosses, how do the results of your tosses compare? How about the results of your partner’s tosses? How close was each set of results to what was expected? Results will vary, but should be close to 5 heads and 5 tails. 2. Add your results to those of your partner to produce a total of 20 tosses. Assuming that you expect 10 heads and 10 tails in 20 tosses, how close are these results to what was expected? The results for 20 tosses may be closer to the predicted 10 heads and 10 tails. 3. If you compiled the results for the whole class, what results would you expect? The results for the entire class should be even closer to the number predicted by the rules of probability. 4. How do the expected results differ from the observed results? The observed results are usually slightly different from the expected results.
69. Section 3 Answers 1. Make a list of 10 adults whom you know. Next to the name of each adult, write his or her approximate height in feet and inches. Check students’ answers to make sure they are realistic. 2. What can you observe about the heights of the ten people? Students should notice that there is a range of heights in humans. 3. Do you think height in humans is controlled by 2 alleles, as it is in pea plants? Explain your answer. No, height does not seem to be controlled by two alleles, as it is in pea plants. Height in humans can vary greatly and is not just found in tall and short phenotypes. Interest Grabber Answers
70. Section 4 Answers 1. How many chromosomes would a sperm or an egg contain if either one resulted from the process of mitosis? 46 chromosomes 2. If a sperm containing 46 chromosomes fused with an egg containing 46 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would the resulting fertilized egg contain? Do you think this would create any problems in the developing embryo? 46 + 46 = 92; a developing embryo would not survive if it contained 92 chromosomes. 3. In order to produce a fertilized egg with the appropriate number of chromosomes (46), how many chromosomes should each sperm and egg have? Sperm and egg should each have 23 chromosomes.
