• 1. Image of Bateson
and Punnett
• 2. tried to replicate
work of Mendel using
other traits of garden
pea
• 3. traits investigated
• -flower color P (purple)
and p (red flowers)
• -pollen size L (long) and
l (short pollen)
4. Parental cross
O 45 37 30
A 41 61 38
B 10 2 22
AB 4 1 10
6. Practice genetic’s problem
a. so far been discussing traits that are governed only by one gene
b. far from the truth
c. most phenotypes that we are aware of are distributed in a bell-shaped curve
like human height
d. often multiple genes affect such traits
e. height in plants might be affected by three genes each possessing two
alleles
f. the dominant allele of each gene might add 1 cm to basic height of plant
g. the recessive allele of each gene would not affect the basic 10 cm height
h. aabbcc X AABBCC
i. F1 generation selfs itself
j. 1/64 6/64 15/64 20/64 15/64 6/64 1/64
k. the more genes affecting a trait, the smoother is the bell curve
l. the environment also affects phenotype smoothing off the curve even more
Human Pigmentation
E. Sex Determination in humans
