Introduction to Mendelian Inheritance

This course assumes that you have had an exposure to basic Mendelian Genetics. Therefore, you should make sure that you feel comfortable with the basics of what Mendel did before proceeding. Rather than redo what has been done a thousand times I am providing a few links to relevant pages that you can review.

The aspects of Mendelian Genetics that you should be familiar with are:

• The basic crosses that Mendel performed
• The definition of an allele
• The Law of Segregation (The First Law)
• The concept of Dominance
• The Law of Independent Assortment (The Second Law)
