Genetics: Mendelian Laws and Phenotypes

This lecture covers the comparison between mitotic and meiotic divisions, the concepts of genotype and phenotype, Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment, as well as the inheritance patterns observed in pea plants. It also explains the relationship between alleles, dominance, incomplete dominance, and codominance, using examples such as flower color inheritance and blood type genetics. The lecture delves into epistasis, the distinction between parental and recombinant genotypes, and the principles of genetic crosses. Key genetic concepts, including mitosis, meiosis, Mendelian laws, and allele relationships, are thoroughly discussed.
