Seven pairs of contrasting traits and the results of Mendel's crosses of the garden pea (Pisum sativum). In each case, pollen taken from true-bred plants exhibiting one trait was used to fertilize the ova of true-bred plants exhibiting the other trait. In the F1 generation, only one of the two traits was exhibited by all plants. The contrasting trait reappeared in approximately 1/4 of the F2 plants (progenies of F1).
Genetic characters are controlled by discrete factors that exist in pairs in individual organisms. A discrete paired-factor exists for each trait.

MendelsThreeLawsofHeredity:
1. LawofSegregation:
Genetictraitsarecontrolledbypairedunitfactors(later knownasgenes);oneform(allele)ofeachpairedunitfactoris segregatedintothesexcell(e.g.alleleforyellowORgreen colour oftheseed).
2.LawofDominance:
Oneformofthegene(allele)willalwaysbedominant.
3.LawofIndependentAssortment:
Differenttraitsareinheritedindependentlyfromeachother (e.g.canbetallandgreenortallandyellow). Note:Mendelslawsarenotalwaystrueinnature.

PackingDNA:Howtofita whaleintoabathtub?
The~2meterlengthDNAmust bepackagedintoanucleusthatisabout~5micrometers indiameter.
Thisisacompressionofmorethan100,000 times!Thisis equivalentto~40miles(64km)ofthreadstuffedintoatennis ball. CompressionismadepossiblebywrappingtheDNAaround proteinspoolsmadeofhistoneproteinstoformstructures callednucleosomes,whicharethenpackedintohelical filaments. Chromatin (e.g.theDNA+proteincomplex)containsboth histoneandnonhistoneproteins.

DNA is mostly double-stranded. Negatively-charged DNA is wound around positivelycharged histone proteins.
