dominant and recessive genes. to research this, he used peas and investigated the genes which determined whether a pea would be wrinkled or smooth. he was actually a mathematician and he spend ages cross breading wrinkley with straight and counting out the two different types of pea. he counted 1000 peas. approximately 250 were wrinkled and 750 were smooth, leading him to the theory that the gene for smooth pease was dominant

eg. wrinkled = w

smooth = W

W + w = smooth

W + W = smooth

w + W = smooth

w + w = wrinkled

the 3:1 ratio

hope this helps ;)

How did suttons work build on Mendel work?

Sutton's work built on Mendel's work by proposing that genes are located on chromosomes. He suggested that genes on paired chromosomes segregate during meiosis, similar to how Mendel observed the segregation of alleles in his studies on pea plants. This laid the foundation for the understanding of genetic inheritance and the role of chromosomes in passing on traits.
