before reaching the pupa stage. (Flagg‚ 1979) The pupa stage will last for about 6 days after which the adult will eclose. During the pupa stage the pupa will darken and the eyes as well as the wings will appear visible through the casing. Gregor Mendel created 3 principles as it relates to the laws of genetics. The 3 principles of Mendel’s laws of genetics are the law of dominance‚ the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment. The law of dominance stated that in a heterozygous

Explain how Mendel’s particulate mechanism differed from the blending theory of inheritance. • Blending: parents genes mixed • Particulate: parents genes still retain identity\ The blending theory was that genetic material contributed by the two parents mixes in a manner analogous to the way blue and yellow make green

(traits). * Another advantage of peas is that Mendel had strict control over which plants mated with which. * Each pea plant has male (stamens) and female (carpal) sexual organs. * In nature‚ pea plants typically self-fertilize‚ fertilizing ova with their own sperm. * However‚ Mendel could also move pollen from one plant to another to cross-pollinate plants. * In a typical breeding experiment‚ Mendel would cross-pollinate (hybridize) two contrasting‚ true-breeding

Extension of mendelian inheritance Incomplete Dominance Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely dominant over the other allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the dominant and recessive phenotypes. Incomplete dominance is similar to‚ but different from co-dominance. In co-dominance‚ an additional phenotype is produced ‚ however both alleles are expressed completely

and observe the different phenotypic ratios the plants present. The procedure of this experiment was plant six different crosses and water them correctly so that we could observe the different phenotypes and compare them to Mendel’s proposed ratios. Mendel‚ who had studied peas‚ did a similar experiment and came up with specific ratios that a monohybrid and dihybrid cross should show. His findings were that for a monohybrid cross‚ such as my crosses three and six‚ the phenotypes would have a ratio of

If it wasn’t for plants‚ none of us would be here alive today. That is because they provide us with the oxygen we need to breathe to survive. That is normally the first answer you will get when you ask why plants are useful to us. However‚ although that may be a commonly said reason‚ it is by no means the only reason why plants are useful to us in our everyday lives. Five more reasons are that plants are used as food‚ as medicine‚ for making materials‚ as herbal substances‚ and also in the lab for

Introduction: The study of genes‚ Genetics‚ is a branch in Medicine that studies how genes are formed‚ distributed and how they change the organisms’ characteristics. The pioneer in the field of Genetics‚ Mendel‚ was able to formulate various laws based on genes‚ such as the law of segregation. Even though Mendel did not know about the existence of DNA‚ he was able to show that some traits are carried to offspring‚ even though the parents did not appear to have the gene. There are two types of genes‚ the
