Pusat Tuisyen Seri Minda Intelek Biology (Form 5) : 1. Concept of The INHERITANCE

This document summarizes key concepts from a biology lesson on inheritance and Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plants. It discusses Mendel's role as the Father of Modern Genetics and how he used pea plants to study inheritance of traits like stem length, seed shape, and seed color. The document defines genetic terms like genes, alleles, chromosomes, dominant vs recessive traits, and how traits are passed from parents to offspring based on dominant and recessive alleles separating during gamete formation. It also covers Mendel's law of segregation and pure-breeding plants.
