The puzzle of inheritance
• People domesticated plants and animals, selected
and created many breeds but did not know
• What is inherited?
• How is it inherited?
• What is the role of chance in heredity?
• Misconceptions
• The homunculus: one parent contributes most to
an offspring’s inherited features
• Blended inheritance: traits become mixed and
forever changed in the offspring

The garden pea (Pisum sativum)
• Bisexual flowers, self-fertilizing: pure breed Lưỡng tính, tự thụ: dịng thuần
• Feasible cross-fertilization: hybrid
• Generating many seeds: statistical analysis

Mendelian inheritance in humans
• Most common and obvious human phenotypes arise from the
interaction of many genes
• Roughly 6000 single-gene traits known in humans as of 2016
• Genetic diagnosis
