Principles of Genetics & Inheritance

Understanding heredity, variation, and Mendelian laws of transmission.

Genetics is the branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance through his work on pea plants.

Heredity is the transmission of traits from parents to offspring. Variations are the differences shown by individuals of the same species. Modern genetics explores how these traits are encoded in DNA and expressed in cells.

Key Takeaways

•Genes are the functional units of heredity located on chromosomes.
•Mendel's laws include the Law of Dominance, Law of Segregation, and Law of Independent Assortment.
•Human sex determination is controlled by XX (female) and XY (male) chromosome pairings.

Core Concepts & Definitions

1Mendelian Laws of Inheritance

Mendel proposed three laws based on pea plant hybridization: Dominance (one allele masks another), Segregation (alleles separate during gamete formation), and Independent Assortment (genes for different traits segregate independently).

•Genotype refers to genetic makeup (e.g., Tt), while phenotype refers to physical appearance (e.g., Tall).

•Homozygous individuals have identical alleles (TT or tt), while heterozygous have different alleles (Tt).
