Chapter 11 Introduction to Genetics
Nicole Meckes
Punnet squares are used to determine the outcome of a given genetic cross.
Mendel crossed two plants with different characters for a trait and found that the offspring had only one of the characters.
Secton 11-1 The Work of Gregor Mendel
Section 11-2 Probability and Punnet Squares
Section 11-3 Exploring Mendelian Genetics
Mendel used the process of cross-pollination to prevent his pea plants from self-pollinating.
The plants share phenotypes, physical characteristics, but have different genotypes or genetic makeup.
Mendel performed two experiments (two-factor crosses for F1 and F2) to discover independent assortment.
Section 11-5 Linkage and Gene Maps
Section 11-4 Meiosis
Gene maps depict the approximate locations of a gene on a given chromosome.
Meiosis is the process in which the number of chromosomes in a cell is sliced in half in the separation of homologus chromosomes of a diploid cell.
