Explanation of Mendel first law

Gregor Johann Mendel, the father of genetics, crossed a tall pea (TT) with another short pea (tt) to obtain the long pea (Tt) in the F1 lineage. Self-fertilization between tall beans (Tt) in the F1 progeny yielded 3 tall (75%) and 1 short (25%) beans in the F2 progeny.

here,

The gene responsible for the tall trait is T

Consequently, the genotype for the tall trait is TT

again,

The gene responsible for the short trait is t

Consequently, the short trait genotype is tt

The first progeny is F1 and the second progeny is F2

F2 progeny (checker board)

Comment: From the checker board, out of four beans, 3 are tall and 1 is short.

Phenotypic ratio : Tall : Short = 3:1

Reasons for Mendel’s success

  1. The materials used in the study were very good and ideal.
  2. The selected pea plants were perennial and self-pollinated.
  3. He works first with one pair and later with two pairs of contrasting signs.
  4. Each pair of features was dominant over the other.
  5. The traits were located on different homologous chromosomes.
  6. He accurately recorded the results of the research for several years.
  7. The research results were presented mathematically.Mendelism

Gregor Johann Mendel, the father of genetics, studied 34 types of beans for 7 years and introduced two laws of heredity in 1865. Both of these formulas are called Mendelism. One of these is the first formula or the formula of separation and the other is the second formula or the formula of independent union.

Why did Mendel choose beans for research?

  1. Beans have multiple recessive genetic traits.
  2. Being a perennial, it can easily be cultivated in tubs or gardens.
  3. Being bisexual causes self-implantation.
  4. Artificial hybridization is easy because the flowers are large.
  5. Being a perennial, hybridization results are available very quickly.
  6. Plants produced by hybridization are fertile and capable of reproduction.

All testcrosses are backcrosses, but not all backcrosses are testcrosses

Crossing the F1 or F2 progeny with its recessive parent is called a test cross. Again, crossing the F1 or F2 progeny with its recessive or recessive parent is called a back cross. Crossing a tall bean (TT) with another short bean (tt) results in a tall bean (Tt) in the F1 progeny. Here the tall is the manifest and the short is the latent feature. A test cross is made by crossing the F1 progeny long bean (Tt) with the latent short bean (tt). Backcrossing of the F1 progeny with long beans (Tt) is done by crossing the dominant long bean (TT) or the latent short bean (tt).
