INHERITANCE AND RATIO

• WHAT IS MONOHYBRID INHERITANCE?

  inheritance of a single gene
• WHAT ARE THE F0 GENERATIONS?

  purebred generations
• WHAT ARE THE F1 GENERATIONS?

  generation produced by breeding two separate purebred organisms
• WHAT ARE THE F2 GENERATIONS?

  generation produced by breeding two separate F1 (heterozygous) organisms
• RULE DERIVED AS A RESULT?

  • in diploid organisms, characteristics are determined by alleles that occur in pairs
  • only one pair of each allele is present in a single gamete
  • larger sample sizes make it more likely the actual results come near to match the theoretical ones
