Mendels' law of segregation |
1.) Particulate inheritance: non-split, non-blending, determining genes 2.) Diploid: 2 copies of the gene for each trait in each plant 3.) Alleles: copies may code for different phenotypes 4.) Dominance: one allele can mask another in heterozygotes 5.) Segregation: 2 copies separate during gamete production, offspring get only one from each parent |
|
Mendel's law of independent assortment |
Two different gene will randomly assort their alleles during the formation of haploid cells |
|
Hardy-Weinburg Assumptions |
Negligible mutation Large population Negligible or balanced migration Negligible selection Random Mating |
|
Tenets of Selection |
1.) Mutations occur naturally 2.) Some mutations improve likelihood of survival and reproduction 3.) Such mutations will be more common in next generation 4.) F (allele) accumulate to improve adaptation to that environment |

Mosaicism |
organism contains a subset of cells the are genetically different from those of the rest of the organism. |
