  • GREGOR MENDEL
    • Studied the inheritance of different characteristics in Pea Plants.
    • He found that when he bred  red flowered plants with white-flowered plants, all the offspring produced red flowers.
    • This was because the allele for red flowers are dominant, and the allele for white flowers are recessive.
    • In a Genetic Diagram, you show all of the possible alleles for a particular characteristic.
      • There will be two alleles from one parent and two from the other, making four altogether.
        • You then draw lines to show all the possible ways that these alleles could be paired in the offspring.
          • There will be four possible ways but some or all could be repeated.
