<ul>
<li>Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk, is known as the father of genetics.</li>
<li>Mendel’s experiments with garden pea plants formed the basis of modern genetics.</li>
<li><strong>Mendel proposed two important principles</strong>: the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment.</li>
<li>The Law of Segregation states that during gamete formation, the two alleles for a trait separate from each other.</li>
<li>The Law of Independent Assortment states that the segregation of alleles for one trait does not affect the segregation of alleles for another trait.</li>

<ul>
<li>Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants that had different traits, such as flower color and seed texture.</li>
<li>He cross-pollinated the plants to study the inheritance of traits from one generation to the next.</li>
<li>By carefully analyzing the patterns of inheritance, Mendel discovered the principles that govern genetic inheritance.</li>
<li>His experiments showed that traits are inherited in a predictable manner.</li>

<ul>
<li>A dihybrid cross involves the inheritance of two different traits.</li>

<li><strong>Let’s consider an example of a cross between two pea plants with different traits</strong>: flower color and seed texture.

<ul>
<li>Incomplete dominance occurs when the heterozygous phenotype is an intermediate blend of the two homozygous phenotypes.</li>
<li>Neither allele is dominant over the other, resulting in a new phenotype.</li>
<li>An example is the inheritance of flower color in snapdragons.

<li>Multiple alleles refer to the existence of multiple alleles for a single gene locus.</li>
<li>However, an individual can only carry two of these alleles.</li>
<li>One example is the ABO blood group system.

<li><strong>Blood type A</strong>: IAIA or IAi</li>

<hr>
<main>
<ul>
<li>Sex-linked inheritance involves genes located on the sex chromosomes (X and Y).</li>
<li>Most sex-linked genes are located on the X chromosome.</li>
<li>Males have only one X chromosome, so they express any X-linked trait, whether dominant or recessive.</li>
<li>Females, on the other hand, can be carriers of an X-linked trait if they have one copy of the allele.
Example:</li>
<li>Red-green color blindness is a sex-linked recessive trait.</li>
<li>A male with the recessive allele (XbY) will have red-green color blindness.</li>
<li>A female needs two copies of the recessive allele (XbXb) to have the trait.</li>

<li>Natural selection is the process by which individuals with traits that enhance survival and reproductive success are more likely to pass on their genes to future generations.</li>
<li>It acts on heritable variations within a population.</li>
<li><strong>The four main components of natural selection are</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Variation: Differences in traits within a population.</li>
<li>Inheritance: Traits can be passed down from parents to offspring.</li>
<li>Selection: Individuals with advantageous traits have a higher chance of survival and reproduction.</li>

<ul>
<li><strong>There are three main types of natural selection</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Directional selection: One extreme phenotype is favored over others, causing a shift in the population mean.</li>
<li>Stabilizing selection: The intermediate phenotype is favored, leading to a decrease in genetic variation.</li>
<li>Disruptive selection: Both extreme phenotypes are favored, leading to an increase in genetic variation.
Examples:</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Directional selection</strong>: Peppered moth color change during the industrial revolution.</li>
<li><strong>Stabilizing selection</strong>: Human birth weight.</li>
<li><strong>Disruptive selection</strong>: Beak size in African finches.</li>

<ul>
<li>Allopatric speciation: Geographical barriers separate populations, leading to genetic divergence and the formation of new species.</li>
<li>Sympatric speciation: Speciation occurs within the same geographical area, often due to non-geographical factors like polyploidy or ecological adaptations.</li>

<ul>
<li>Genetics and evolution are interconnected fields that study how traits are inherited and how species change over time.</li>
<li>Gregor Mendel’s experiments laid the foundation for our understanding of genetic inheritance.</li>
<li>Evolution is driven by mechanisms such as natural selection, mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, and non-random mating.</li>
<li>The Hardy-Weinberg principle and equations can be used to study the equilibrium in populations.</li>
<li>Evidence for evolution includes the fossil record, comparative anatomy, embryology, molecular biology, and biogeography.</li>
<li>Human evolution and modern synthesis are crucial areas of study in the field of biology.</li>
<li>Evolutionary biology has practical applications in medicine, agriculture, conservation, and forensics.</li>
