Mendelian Inheritance
Mendelian inheritance is based on the principles established by Gregor Mendel, who studied pea plants. The key patterns include:
Autosomal Dominant: Only one copy of a dominant allele is needed for the trait to be expressed. For example, if a parent has a dominant allele for a trait, there is a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit that trait. An example of an autosomal dominant disorder is neurofibromatosis type I.

MENDELIAN GENETICS: MONOHYBRID CROSS
LEARNING COMPETENCY: Predict simple ratios of offspring genotypes and phenotypes in crosses involving dominant/recessive gene pairs through Punnett squares.
REVIEW 1. The principles of inheritance discovered by Charles Darwin, including the law of dominance, law of segregation and the law of independent assortment. Instruction: Identify the concept if it is correct or otherwise. Check symbol (√) for correct and cross symbol (X) for incorrect.
REVIEW 2. Monohybrid cross is a genetic cross involving only one trait.
REVIEW 3. Pedigree is a diagrammatic representation of a family's genetic history, showing the transmission of traits across generations.
REVIEW 4. Recessive trait is a trait that is always expressed, overriding the expression of its dominant allele.
REVIEW 5. Phenotypes are the observable traits or characteristics of an organism, resulting from its genotype and influenced by environmental factors.
SITUATION ANALYSIS: In a city hospital, a mix-up of the most curious kind unfolded. Daddy Willy and Mommy Celia welcomed their newest addition, Baby Volty with short fair skin , into the world. But instead of joy, confusion reigned supreme. Mommy Celia was convinced of a hospital mistake, alleging their baby had been swapped. Daddy Willy , a homozygous for his dark skin , and Mommy Celia, heterozygous with a history of fair-skinned relatives would like to know if indeed How can you help them Baby Brandy is their child. ?
Guide Question: 1. How can you help solve the problem of Daddy Willy and Mommy Celia? 2. How can you predict the characteristics of an offspring of an organism?
ACTIVITY 4.1 The Colorful Tale of Bella, Benny, and Their Butterfly Young: A Story of Genetics and Diversity Source: https://tinyurl.run/eXojhA
VOCABULARY: Homozygous: Having two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive). Heterozygous: Having two different alleles for a particular gene (e.g., one dominant and one recessive allele).
VOCABULARY: Genotype: The genetic makeup of an organism, consisting of the alleles it inherits from its parents. Phenotype: The observable traits or characteristics of an organism, resulting fr om its genotype and influenced by environmental factors.
VOCABULARY: Genotypic Ratio: The ratio of different genotypes produced by a genetic cross, representing the probability of each genotype occurring among the offspring. Phenotypic Ratio: The ratio of different phenotypes produced by a genetic cross, representing the probability of each phenotype occurring among the offspring.
ACTIVITY 4.2 MY FUTURE FAMILY Source; https://rachelbustin.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Thinking-About-Your-Families-Future.jpg
Mendel’s crosses can be recorded in a chart called a Punnett square . The Punnett square helps us to predict the outcome of a given cross. It allows us to determine the possible combinations of genes in a cross. The use of the Punnett square can be best illustrated by solving an actual problem, like determining the expected result when two hybrid round-seeded peas are crossed.
PROBLEM: In pea plants, the height of the plant is a genetic trait that has two distinct phenotypes : tall and short . The allele for tall height is completely dominant over the allele for short height . In a cross between two pea plants that are hybrids for height , what is the expected phenotype and genotypes of the offsprings?
