The first experiment of Mendel considering the inheritance of a
single trait (colour of flower-purple/white) is called monohybrid
cross

Mendels Second Law Of Inheritance:
The Law Of Independent Assortment
Homozygous (pure-breeding)
with the same alleles in the same character
Heterozygous (hybrid)
with different alleles
Dominant gene (or character)
which expresses its effect even in heterozygous
condition
Recessive gene (or character)
which expresses its effect only in homozygous
condition

Blood Type A and Blood Type B
1.Autosome and Sex Chromosomes
-Two types of chromosomes:
Female Male
The Rhesus Factor
Sex-linked inheritance
- Some characteristics are controlled by genes located in X
chromosomes.
- Examples of sex-linked diseases
Haemophilia
Colour blindness
Muscular dystrophy
(c) Haemophilia
Sequence of
Chromosome in DNA is made up nucleotide bases is
nucleus contain DNA of nucleotide called gene
1: Isolation of DNA.
4-5: Probing.
Adding radioactive probes to the nylon sheet
produces a pattern called DNA fingerprint.
1.Paternity and Maternity
person inherits his or her VNTRs from his or her parents
Parent-child VNTR pattern analysis has been used to solve
standard father-identification cases

Recombinant DNA technology- Combining genes from
different organisms
The resulting organism is said to be "genetically
"
modified," "genetically
" engineered," or "transgenic
" ."
Insulin -producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982
