Mendel’s First Law
law of segregation
Mendel’s Second Law
Law of Independent Assortment
Blood group A
antigen A
anti-B
can receive blood from A, O
can give blood to A, AB
Blood group B
antien B
anti-B
can receive blood from B, O
can give blood to B, AB
Blood group AB
antigen A, B
no antibody
can receive blood from A, B, AB, O
can give blood to AB
Blood group O
no antigen
anti-A, anti-B
can receive blood from O
can give blood to A, B, AB, O
Continuous variation
continuous range of intermediate phenotypes
controlled by many genes -> environmental effect relatively large
histogram -> normal distribution curve
Genetic factors
independent assortment of chromosomes at meiosis
crossing over at meiosis
random combination of gametes during fertilization
Mutation
suden and permanent change in DNA
only mutations occur in gametes or gamete-producing cells can be passed on to next generation
A
adenine
T
thymine
C
cytosine
G
guanine
U
uracil
