Article Abstract by: ayazkhan     

Original Author: Ayaz
Gene are the basic unit of inheritance consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific position on a chromosome
. This position is called Locus .The specific character of parent are to the offspring through gene . The alternative form of same gene are called Allel . Total population of gene at any one time is called Gene Pool . Thus the frequency of allel in the gene pool pf this population 800/1000 =0.8=80 PERCENT . The allel must have a frequency of 0.2 yo 20 percent .
For about genetics Mendal show the experiment . There are two laws of mendal . there are law of segregation and the law of independent . When a pair of specific character are brought together in an indiviual they neither mix or nor effect to each other . At the time of gamet formation the gene for each contrasting character seperate and pass into different gametes . Each gamet contain only one allel of a particular character and is said to be pure . This seperation of gene is called law of segregation . This law is also called monohybrid cross because two parent differ in one trait only . Thus the result obtained in monohybrid cross is spoken is single trait inharitance .
Mandel law of independent assortment . Member of one pair fact segregate independently of member of another pair of factor . Therefore all possible combination of factors can occour in the gamets . The cross in law of independent assorment occour between two individuals differing in two traits are called dihybrid cross . The result achieve in dihybrid cross is spoken as inheritance of traits .
In these laws the character was appear in first generation is dominent and the character was not appear called recessive .
The multiple effect of a single gene or allel is called Pleiotropy .The genetic trait which is transmitted through sex choromosome is called as sex linked inheritance . A g ene for a trait having tree or more allelic form are called multiple allel .
Sex linked inheritance found in human being . Porson suffering from colour blindness . They do not distingish between red and green colour . It is more common inheritance and more common in male .
Codomince is the phenomena of which both allel of a contrasting character are dominent and express themseleves in heterozygous indiviual neither masking the effect of one another .
