1 Gregor Mendel a monk named Gregor Mendel documented inheritance in eas in the mid-1800s used eerimental method used quantitative analysis collected data & counted them ecellent eamle of scientific method Looking closer at Mendel s work self-ollinate urle-flower eas X urle-flower eas urle-flower eas white-flower eas white-flower eas What did Mendel s findings mean Traits come in alternative versions urle vs. white flower color alleles different alleles vary in the sequence of nucleotides at the secific locations of a gene urle-flower allele & white-flower allele are 2 DNA variations at flower-color locus different versions of gene on homologous chromosomes What did Mendel s findings mean Some traits mask others urle & white flower colors are searate traits that do not blend urle white light urle urle masked white dominant allele fully eressed recessive allele no noticeable effect the gene makes a non-functional rotein Genotye vs. henotye difference between how an organism looks & its genetics henotye descrition of an organism s trait genotye descrition of an organism s genetic makeu Elain Mendel s results using dominant & recessive henotye & gentotye Making crosses using reresentative letters flower color alleles or urle-flower eas white-flower eas 1

Test cross Cross-breed the dominant henotye unknown genotye with a homozygous recessive () to determine the identity of the unknown allele is it or 2
