Gregor Mendel was a monk and scientist and he is commonly referred to as the father of modern genetics. He completed a series of experiments looking at the inheritance of a number of characteristics in pea plants. Mendel published his work in 1865 (24 years before the word ‘gene’ was ever used) and the significance of his research was not appreciat...
Alleles and genotypes are important foundations of genetics. An allele is a particular form of a gene and they are passed from parents to their offspring. A genotype is the combination of two alleles, one received from each parent. The physical expression of a genotype is called the phenotype. The specific combination of the two alleles (the genoty...
Punnet squares are used to identify the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring of two adults. They are a useful tool for recognizing the chance of offspring expressing certain traits. The punnet square to the right shows the potential genotypes of offspring when a homozygous dominant (BB) adult breeds with a homozygous recessive (bb) adult....

May 2, 2017 · Genetics is the study of genes and inheritance in living organisms. This branch of science has a fascinating history, stretching from the 19 th century when scientists began to study how organisms inherited traits from their parents, to the present day when we can read the “source code” of living things letter-by-letter.
Inheritance is the way that genetic information is passed from a parent to a child. Members of the same biological family tend to have similar characteristics – including physical appearance and the likelihood of developing certain genetic conditions.
Traits influenced mainly by one gene usually have predictable patterns of inheritance. However, most of the time even supposed "single-gene" traits are influenced by multiple genes, as in the case of eye color. And often times, a single gene can influence multiple traits.
Inheritance is the passing of traits from parents to offspring. Our modern understanding of inheritance comes from a set of principles proposed by Austrian monk...
