What are Traits?What are Traits? A characteristic that is determined by A characteristic that is determined by
your genesyour genes A pair of genes will determine the traitA pair of genes will determine the trait

Where do our genes Where do our genes come from?come from?• We had said that a pair of genes determines which traits
we will inherit from our parents• Why would it be a pair of genes?
•Each parent provides a sex cell in order for fertilization to occur
•The father will provide a sperm cell that has 23 chromosomes
•The mother will provide an egg cell that has 23 chromosomes
•When these two cells merge and become one, fertilization has occurred, and as a result, the new fertilized egg has 46 chromosomes (23 + 23 = 46)

How are traits determined?How are traits determined? Dominant GenesDominant Genes – the traits that will – the traits that will
usually appear in the individual usually appear in the individual (represented by an uppercase letter)(represented by an uppercase letter) If an organism has a gene for blue or If an organism has a gene for blue or
brown eyes, usually it will have brown brown eyes, usually it will have brown eyes because in is the dominant geneeyes because in is the dominant gene
Recessive GenesRecessive Genes – The gene hidden by – The gene hidden by the dominant gene the dominant gene (represented by a lowercase letter)(represented by a lowercase letter) Blue-eyed people need two recessive Blue-eyed people need two recessive
genes to show the blue-eyed traitgenes to show the blue-eyed trait

Who is Gregor Mendel?Who is Gregor Mendel? ““Father of Genetics”Father of Genetics” Studied pea plantsStudied pea plants He crossed pea plants with different He crossed pea plants with different
characteristics and studied their offspringcharacteristics and studied their offspring He was able to determine how He was able to determine how
traits get passed on from traits get passed on from generation to generationgeneration to generation
