Gregor Mendel's Theories Of Genetic Inheritance
... of
homologous chromosomes segregate during meiosis and are distributed to
different gametes. This hypothesis can be divided into four main ideas. The
first idea is that alternative versions of genes account for variations in
inherited characters. Different alleles will create different variations in
inherited characters. The sescond idea is that for each character, an organism
inherits two genes, one form each parent. So this means that a homolohous loci
may have matching alleles, as in the true-breeding plants of Mendel's P
generation(parental). If the alleles differ, then there will be F hybrids. The
third idea states that if the two alleles differ, the receess ...
