Question

State one conclusion for genetics lab when testing the presence of monohybrid inheritance

Answer 1

Mendel observed that traits were absent in F1 generation had reappeared in F2 generation. He called such suppressed traits as recessive traits and expressed traits as dominant traits. He also concluded that some ‘factors’ are inherited by offspring from their parent over successive generations.

Later, these ‘factors’ were called genes. Genes are responsible for the inheritance of traits from one generation to another. Genes consist of a pair of alleles which code for different traits. If a pair of alleles is same i.e., TT or tt, such alleles are called homozygous pair while those that are different or non-identical (e.g. Tt) are called heterozygous pair.

The cross between two monohybrid traits (TT and tt) is called monohybrid cross. Monohybrid cross is responsible for the inheritance of one gene. It can be easily shown through a Punnett Square.
