Today we went through the first section and in to the second section of our chapter on heredity. We focused on Mendels importance. Rember - at the time Mendel came up with his discoveries, no one really cared because no one had any clue as to what DNA or genes were. So that's why the poor guy didn't get much credit for his discoveries until MUCH later. Some of the terms and concepts we focused on today were: Creating a Monohybrid Cross (A cross between two parents of contrasting traits), The formation of a "Hybrid" organism and then into basic terminoly about genes such as: Alleles, Dominant, Recessive, Genotype, Phenotype. Keep in mind that tomorrow we will PROBABLY have a "Class Work Quiz" on what we have gone over so far!!
