Mendel's study of inheritance
1. Studied one character with
two contrasting
expressions at a time
2.
Cross-pollinated
two pure breeding plants with
contrasting
expressions
3. Followed the F1 plants to
self-pollinate
View source
When the
F1
plants that expressed only the dominant trait were
self-pollinated
, some of their offspring (F2) expressed the recessive trait
View source
The ratio of the plants with dominant traits to the plants with recessive traits is almost
3
:
1
View source
F1 plants
Have a pair of
'unit determiners'
, one for the
dominant
trait and another for the recessive trait
View source
Genes
The 'unit determiners' of heredity, coined by
Walter Sutton
in 1903

Alleles
Different forms of
genes
for a character
View source
Alleles for seed color
G
(
capital
letter) for yellow
g (
small
letter) for
green
View source
Homozygous
gene pairs
Made up of
identical
genes
View source
Heterozygous gene pairs
Made up of
dissimilar
genes
View source
Dominant and
recessive
traits
When the gene pair of an individual is
heterozygous
, only one of the two genes is physically expressed (dominant), while the other is
hidden
or not expressed (recessive)

Mendel's law of
segregation
The two genes of a pair segregate or separate during
gamete formation
, so that only one gene of a pair is received by each
gamete
