Overview: Drawing from the Deck of Genes
What genetic principles account for the
transmission of traits from parents to offspring?

One possible explanation of hereit! is a
"blening# h!pothesis $he iea that genetic material contribute b!
two parents mixes in a manner analogous to
the wa! blue an !ellow paints blen to makegreen

%n alternative to the blening moel is the
"particulate# h!pothesis of inheritance: thegene iea
Parents pass on iscrete heritable units& genes
