BIOLOGY 111 1st Edition Lecture 16 Outline of Last Lecture I. Meiosis II. Sexual ReproductionIII. Phases of Meiosis IV. Genetic VariationOutline of Current LectureI. Mendelian GeneticsII. Segregation of AllelesIII. Phenotype and GenotypeIV. Law of independent assortment V. Probability FormulasCurrent LectureMendelian Genetics- cross fertilization - the cross of two different specimens (instead of self-fertilization)- parental generation - first (original) generation- F1 - first generation (offspring of parentals)- F2 - second generation (offspring of F1)...- experiment o Parental: cross fertilization of purple and white flowerso F1: there was a dominance in purple, so all offspring were purple.He self-fertilized to create F2.o F2: white shows back up in small ratio to purple - Alleles - are different variations of the same gene encoding the same character (account for variations inherited)o for each character, an organism inherits two alleles, one from each parent o different individuals can have different alleles at this locuso dominant alleles - masks the presence of another allele [A- (AAThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
