Mendelian Genetics: Monohybrid Crosses
Apply Mendel's laws of segregation and dominance to predict inheritance patterns in monohybrid crosses.
Key Questions
- Analyze how Mendel's experiments with pea plants laid the foundation for modern genetics.
- Predict the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of offspring from a monohybrid cross involving complete dominance.
- Justify the use of a test cross to determine the genotype of an individual expressing a dominant phenotype.
