Genetics

• The study of heredity or how genes are passed from one generation to another.

  Genetics
• A German biologists that made pioneering observations of chromosomes

  Walther Flemming
• Studied genetics

  Walter Stanborough Sutton & 

  Theodor Heinrich Boveri
• provided proof that chromosomes carry the units of inheritance

  Walter Stanborough Sutton
• investigated the mechanisms of hereditary and created the chromosomal theory of inheritance (genes are found at specific locations on chromosomes, and that the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis)

  Theodor Heinrich Boveri
• Father of modern genetics

  Gregor Johann Mendel
• He created the Laws in Mendel in Genetics (Mendel’s Law of Inheritance)

  Gregor Johann Mendel
• holds our traits

  Allele
•  genetic make-up

  Genotype
•  physical traits

  Phenotype
• mas kita o mas nasusunod

  Dominant trait
• nakatago o shy ganun

  Recessive Trait
• same traits

  Homozygous
• different traits

  Heterozygous
• Decides what we will look like

  Genes
• Loud and bossy and is always written in capital letters

  Dominant Alleles
• Very shy and is written in lowercase letters

  Recessive Alleles
• is a table in which all of the possible outcomes for a genetic cross between two individuals with known genotypes are given.

  Punnett square
• One of the laws of heredity, when the gene pair of an individual is heterozygous the dominant alleles is inherited.
