Summary Introduction

To determine: The part of the pedigree that demonstrates the first law of Mendel.

Introduction: Pedigree analysis is the process of analyzing a pedigree to circumscribe the design of inheritance for a trait. It is frequently used to decide if a character is dominant or recessive.

This pedigree (Pedigree #2) illustrates the inheritance of a simple Mendelian trait. If individuals III- 5 and III-6 have children, what are the chances that the children would have this disorder? 0% 1/4 2/3 O 1/6 ㅇㅁ
Mendel crossed pea plants that produced round seeds with those that produced wrinkled seeds.  From a total of 7324 F2 seeds, 5474 were round and 1850 were wrinkled.  Using the symbols W and w for genes, (a) symbolize the original P cross;  (b) the gametes; and (c) F1 progeny, (d) Represent cross between two F1 plants (or one selfed); (e) symbolize the gametes; and (f) summarize the expected F2 results under the headings: phenotypes, genotypes, genotypic frequency, and phenotypic ratio.
In the results that Mendel obtained, the violet colored flower was dominant to the white flower (which was recessive). What do these terms (dominant and recessive) mean?
