NOTES > Mendel’s Genetics DNA and RNA are carriers of genetic
information. Ribosomes are found in all forms of life. Major features of the
genetic code are shared by all modern living systems. Core metabolic pathways
are conserved across all currently recognized domains. Mendel’s laws of
segregation and independent assortment can be applied to genes that are on
different chromosomes. Fertilization involves the fusion of two haploid
gametes, restoring the diploid number of chromosomes and increasing genetic
variation in populations by creating new combinations of alleles in the
zygote— a. Rules of probability can be applied to analyze passage of
single-gene traits from parent to offspring. b. The pattern of inheritance
monohybrid, dihybrid, sex-linked, and genetically linked genes) can often be
predicted from data, including pedigree, that give the parent
genotype/phenotype and the offspring genotypes/phenotypes. |
