“HEREDITY”
P. 126
Heredity
- is the passing of traits from
parent to offspring.
Genetics
- the study of how
traits are inherited
through the action
of alleles.
- are different
forms of the same
trait
If the trait is hair color,
blonde
brunette
- are possible alleles.
red
If the trait is eye color,
blue
brown
- are possible alleles.
hazel
Genetics was ‘started’ by
Gregor Mendel.
- he experimented with
pea plant traits in the
1800’s.
- is considered the
‘father’ of genetics.
(p. 127 -128)
Purebred
- an organism that
always produces the
same traits in its
offspring.
Ex. St. Bernards
produce St. Bernards
Ex. Siamese cats
produce Siamese
kittens
Mendel “crossed”
traits and discovered
that some traits
appear more often.
- called dominant
Ex. Brown eyes
over blue eyes.
Ex. Tall pea plants
over short plants.
The dominant trait
“masks” the hidden
trait:
- called recessive.
Ex. Blue eyes
Ex. Red hair
Ex. Attached ear
lobes
Mendel allowed the “crossed” tall and
short plants to reproduce.
- surprising results.
- out of 4 plants =
3 tall / 1 short
(because the tall were
dominant)
- always got a 3:1 ratio.
What is the ratio of girls to boys
in your row?
What is the ratio of plants to
people in this room?
Because of ratios, Mendel could create
probabilities of what the offspring would
be.
- he could predict which
traits would appear.
Ex. The offspring of the tall
and short plant cross
75% chance of tall
25% chance of short
Coin Flip
Probability = 50% heads / 50% tails
Ratio = 1:1

Polygenic inheritance - when a group of
genes not just two combine to form
a trait.
Ex. blood type, eye
color, skin color,
height, etc.
Sex Determination
- the male determines the sex of the
offspring.
XX = female (two X chromosomes)
XY = male (one X, one Y chromosome)

Sex-linked Disorders
- inherited “conditions” linked
to the X chromosome.
Ex. color blindness,
hemophilia.
- these disorders are carried
on the females’ X
chromosome.

- a record of an organism’s ancestors.
- it traces the occurrences of a trait.
