Mendel carried out experiments on pea plants. He observed that certain pea plants growing in nature were tall and others were dwarf, with distinct difference in height . Some pea...
Different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another and the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene. The biological...
In addition garden peas do not take up a lot of area. As an added bonus they are easy to control pollination in(he simply tied bags around the flowers after...
His work is now known as mendelian genetics. He worked on the principles of heredity using pea plants. His famous laws include the law of independent assortment and law of...
From the genotypic ratio, it was clear that each gene was inherited independently of the other. However he got lucky as the genes he studied didn't have linkage. If they...
Law of Segregation states that mendelian hereditory factors (=alleles) separate during gamete formation. Every individual contains two alleles for each trait. During these separate such that each gamete contains only...
The genes may combine in different ways in the coming generations. The new combinations show new genotype and phenotype. It results variations in the . The variations are the raw...
During , independent (e.g. random) crossing over results in different combinations of genes that may segregate into the gametes. Hence, when you produce gametes, your genes are "scrambled" in each....
