Mendelian Genetics: Monohybrid Crosses
Apply Mendel's laws of segregation and dominance to predict inheritance patterns in monohybrid crosses.
Key Questions
- Explain how Mendel's experiments with pea plants led to the law of segregation.
- Analyze the genotypic and phenotypic ratios expected from a monohybrid cross.
- Predict the outcome of a test cross to determine the genotype of a dominant phenotype.
