Practical genetics
Abstract:
Despite the many advances in genetics in the past two decades, and the resulting great difficulty in achieving a broad knowledge of the field, there are several ways in which a family physician can employ a few basic concepts to achieve better understanding of his patients' problems. These include not only disorders inherited in a simple Mendelian fashion, many of which are rather rare, but also other more common diseases to which the genetic contribution may be less obvious. A little time spent in taking a family history may greatly facilitate diagnosis and treatment.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
