PPT-Human Heredity Walter Sutton in 1902 proposed that chromosomes were the physical carriers

Problems arose however regarding the following question Why are the number of alleles which undergo independent assortment greater than the number of chromosomes of an organism This was explained by the . Heredity: the passing of genetic traits from parent to offspring. A feature that has different forms in a population . Different forms of a characteristic governed by genes. Characteristics:. Hair Color. (Body Cells). (Sex Cells). Examples of . somatic (body) cells:. spleen, kidney, eyeball. . The DNA in these cells are NOT passed on to your offspring!. Examples of . gametes (sex cells): . ova/egg and sperm. Chapter 10 Section 1. Mendel’s Experiment. In the mid 19. th. century, a monk named Mendel studied how traits are passed from one generation to another.. Experimented on . garden peas. .. .  green pea plants reproduce sexually (produce gametes). Heredity. The. passing of parents characteristics onto the offspring. Genetics is the branch of biology that studies heredity. Grego. r Mendel. Considered the father of genetics. Was an Austrian. monk that used pea plants to study heredity. Genetics = the study of . HEREDITY. Heredity = Passing of . Traits. from parents to offspring. Predicted how . TRAITS. are transferred from one generation to the next. Father of Genetics. Gregor. Mendel, an Austrian monk is known as the FATHER of GENETICS.. Trait. a characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes. . Offspring.

Mendel’ Pea Plants. . are segments on the chromosomes that are responsible for inherited traits such as eye color, hair color, skin color, height, etc.. Now we’re going to learn. how these traits are in-. herited by the study of . Ms. Diana and Ms. Su’ad. Karyotype Studies. The study of genetic material does not only involve the study of genes. It also involves whole chromosomes by using images of chromosomes stained during metaphase. . Human Chromosomes. Human chromosomes. 46 total, 23 pairs. 22 pairs of autosomes. 1 pair of sex chromosomes. Male vs. female. Human Chromosomes. Human chromosomes. 46 total, 23 pairs. 22 pairs of autosomes. heredity. Heredity is the cause of similarities between individuals. This is the reason that brothers and sisters with the same parents resemble each other and with their parents. Variation is the cause of differences who do resemble each other are still unique individuals. Thus, we have no trouble in recognizing the differences between sisters, for example, and even ‘identical’ twins are recognized as distinctive individuals by their parents and close friends. .
