1. Genetics
ď Classic Genetics â Mendelian Genetics
ď Principal of genetics
1. Dominance
2. The principal of independent assortment
3. The principal of segregation
ď Examples:
color of flowers â red V.S. white
dominant trait V.S. recessive trait
complete dominance V.S. incomplete dominance
genotype V.S. phenotype
homozygous V.S. heterozygous
monohybrid V.S. dihybrid
gametes and zygotes
Punnett square
4. Crosses With Two Traits
Smooth seeds (S) are dominant over wrinkled (s)
seeds.
Yellow seed color (Y) is dominant over green (y).
5. Human Genetics
ď Single trait genetic inheritance â
blood type A B O
ď Blood type A, B are dominant versus O.
ď A and B are co-dominant.

8. Human chromosomes
ď All but one pair of chromosomes are the
same in both males and females. They are
designated autosomes. The remaining pair
of chromosomes are sex chromosomes.
ď Human cells have a diploid chromosome
number of 46. The nucleus contains 22
pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex
chromosomes (X and Y).
ď Each chromosome in this karyotype is
duplicated and so consists of two sister
chromatids.

The photos of chromosomes
are arranged in order of size
and numbered.
Chromosomes 23 are the sex

ď Morgan â the color of eyes in fruit fly.
ď The sex linkage traits are usually on the
X chromosome.
ď Sex-linked diseases:
1. Color Blindness
2. Duplchenne Muscular Dystrophy
3. Hemophilia
ď Color blindness genetic inheritance
ď Muscular dystrophy genetic inheritance
