This document summarizes key concepts in genetics including how sex is determined in humans, Mendel's work with pea plants, monohybrid crosses, and Mendel's laws of inheritance. It explains that sex in humans is determined by the X or Y chromosome in sperm at fertilization. Mendel performed experiments crossing pea plants with contrasting traits and his work established the laws of segregation and independent assortment. His monohybrid crosses showed traits segregate and recessive traits can be passed to later generations according to a 3:1 ratio.
