xi.2. Family Traits: How We Get Both Similar and Different from Our Parents

Inherited Traits

  • The reproductive process leads to individuals with both common basic body designs and subtle changes.
    • Inheritance from the previous generation provides a common basic body design and introduces subtle changes for the next generation.

Rules for the Inheritance of Traits – Mendel’s Contributions

  • Inheritance involves contributions from both parents, shaping traits in offspring.
  • Mendel’s experiments with garden peas demonstrated dominant and recessive traits.
    • Dominant traits express themselves even in the presence of one copy, while recessive traits require two copies for expression.
    • Traits are independently inherited, leading to various combinations in the offspring.
