What exactly was a purebred species What exactly was a purebred species in terms of genotype?in terms of genotype?– It was a species that had the same It was a species that had the same
alleles in its genetic makeup (either BB alleles in its genetic makeup (either BB or bb)or bb)
What about a hybrid species in terms What about a hybrid species in terms of genotype?of genotype?– It was a species that had different It was a species that had different
alleles in its genetic makeup (like Bb)alleles in its genetic makeup (like Bb)

When the two When the two parents were parents were crossed, TT X tt, crossed, TT X tt, what resulted?what resulted?
The Results were The Results were four heterozygous four heterozygous offspring.offspring.
These are the F1 These are the F1 generationgeneration
F1 X F1F1 X F1 When the two F1 generation When the two F1 generation
were crossed, TT X tt, what were crossed, TT X tt, what resulted?resulted?
The Results were three The Results were three dominant and one recessive dominant and one recessive in a 3:1 phenotypic ratio but in a 3:1 phenotypic ratio but in a 1:2:1 genotypic ratioin a 1:2:1 genotypic ratio
These are the F2 generationThese are the F2 generation
The Law of SegregationThe Law of Segregation
What does the Law of Segregation What does the Law of Segregation state?state?– It states that inherited traits are It states that inherited traits are
determined by pairs of “factors”determined by pairs of “factors”– These factors segregate (separate) in These factors segregate (separate) in
the gametesthe gametes
What happened next?What happened next?
Mendel completed the monohybrid Mendel completed the monohybrid cross and started to ask and cross and started to ask and formulate new questionsformulate new questions
What do you think he was thinking of What do you think he was thinking of next?next?– He wanted to know if the inheritance of He wanted to know if the inheritance of
one characteristic influenced the one characteristic influenced the inheritance of a different characteristicinheritance of a different characteristic
What did he try next?What did he try next?
He started all over againHe started all over again He produced purebred plants just like He produced purebred plants just like
last time with the traits he wanted to last time with the traits he wanted to examineexamine
He bread pea plants that were round He bread pea plants that were round and yellow pure plants (dominant for and yellow pure plants (dominant for both) and then he did the same for both) and then he did the same for wrinkled and green (recessive for wrinkled and green (recessive for both)both)
What did he try next?What did he try next?
He then crossed them againHe then crossed them again The P X P ended up yielding what?The P X P ended up yielding what?
– The F1 ended up being all yellow and all The F1 ended up being all yellow and all round, just like last timeround, just like last time
– There seems to be some similarityThere seems to be some similarity

What did this tell him?What did this tell him?
The ratio of 9:3:3:1 could be explained The ratio of 9:3:3:1 could be explained if the alleles from one trait were if the alleles from one trait were inherited independently of the alleles inherited independently of the alleles for another traitfor another trait
