Mendelian Genetics
Allele
A variation of information that is used in chromosomes
Organisms will have 1 or more
Laws of segregation
One gene compy which is randomly selected
Punnett square
Used to predict
Genotypes
Phenotypes
Topic principal
Mutations
Familial hypercholesterolemia
Huntington's disease
Neurofibromatosis
Achondroplasie
Hypophatemic rickets
Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
cystic fibrosis
Sickle cell anemia
Tay-sachs diease
Hemophilia A

Disease
Gene Technologies
Disadvantages
Creation of deadly genetic viruses
Can affect relationships with the knowledge of a genetic mutation
Uses
First were developed in late 1900s
CRISPR made is easier to edit genes
Original Human Genome Project took 13 years and cost 3 Billion$ now it costs 1000$ and takes three days

Benefits
removes
Faster growing plants and animals

Patterns of Inheritance
Autosomal
Ever genertation
affect offspring has affected parent
Autosomal
Offsprings have parents that are carriers
.
Not typically seen in every generation
X linked
Females more frequently affected
Can have affected Males and Females in same generation
X linked
Subtopics more frequently affected
Subtopicected males often present in each generation
Mitochondrial
affected both genders
Subtopicappear in ever generation

Gregor Mendel
Life
Czech Republic July 20, 1822-January 6, 1884
Austrian monk, born as Johann but took on Gregor as a monk
Father of Genetics
Even though he didn't know about
Poor Farming Family
Education
2 year philosophy program at the philosophical institute of the university of Olmutz
Failed teacher exam send to University of Vienna for 2 years to benefit from a new proram of scientifc instruction
Devoted his time while at vienna to physics and mathematics
Also studied anatomy and physiology of plants
Experiments
Plant Hybridization
Conducted studies with edible pea plants (Pisum Sativum)
Choose 7 traits expressed in a distinctive manner such as plant height and seed colour
He crossed varieties that were different in one trait. Tall x Short
Showed different
Traits
Recessive
It is only observable when it is the only allele in the individual
Weaker
Is not observable
Dominant
It is the only observable trait when it is present
Stornger
is observable
Subtopic
Not Relevant
Unrelated to whether the trait is good or bad
Most beneficial and least beneficial
Most and least common trait in population
DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Double helix
Adenine & Thymine
Guanine & Cytosine
