POLA-POLA HEREDITAS part 1 (Istilah2 hereditas, Hukum I Mendel, Hukum II Mendel)| Biologi XII SMA

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of hereditary patterns based on the concepts presented in the video "POLA-POLA HEREDITAS part 1." It covers essential terminology, Mendel's First and Second Laws, and the foundational principles of genetics. Understanding these concepts is crucial for anyone studying biology, particularly in the context of heredity and genetics.

Step 1: Understand Key Terms in Heredity

Familiarize yourself with the fundamental terminology necessary for studying heredity.

• Parental Generation: The original generation in a breeding experiment.
• Filial Generation: The offspring resulting from the parental generation.
• Gene: A unit of heredity that influences traits.
• Allele: Different forms of a gene (e.g., dominant and recessive).
• Phenotype: The observable traits of an organism.
• Genotype: The genetic makeup of an organism, represented by alleles.
• Hybrid: An organism produced by crossing two genetically different individuals.
  • Monohybrid: A cross involving one trait.
  • Dihybrid: A cross involving two traits.

Step 2: Learn Mendel's First Law

Explore Mendel's First Law, also known as the Law of Segregation.

• Definition: This law states that allele pairs segregate during gamete formation, and each gamete carries one allele for each gene.
• Monohybrid Cross: A practical way to demonstrate the Law of Segregation.
  • Example:
    1. Cross a homozygous dominant (AA) with a homozygous recessive (aa) plant.
    2. Observe the F1 generation, which will all be heterozygous (Aa).
    3. In the F2 generation, a typical ratio of phenotypes will be 3:1 (dominant:recessive).

Step 3: Understand Mendel's Second Law

Delve into Mendel's Second Law, known as the Law of Independent Assortment.

• Definition: This law states that alleles for different traits assort independently of one another during gamete formation.
• Dihybrid Cross: A method to illustrate the Law of Independent Assortment.
  • Example:
    1. Cross a plant with genotype AaBb (heterozygous for two traits) with another AaBb plant.
    2. The resulting gametes can be AB, Ab, aB, and ab.
    3. The phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation will typically be 9:3:3:1.

Conclusion

In summary, understanding the key terms of heredity and Mendel's laws is essential for grasping the basics of genetics. The First Law emphasizes the segregation of alleles, while the Second Law highlights the independent assortment of traits. These principles form the foundation for more advanced studies in genetics. For further exploration, consider practicing genetic crosses and predicting outcomes based on these laws.
