Geneticists used the laws of segregation and independent assortment even today, to assess the risk of genetic disease in offspring for example. Healthy couples can go for genetic testing for diseases such as thalasemia, cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anaemia and be told how likely it is their child will have the disease.

What experiment method did gregor Mendels use during his study of inheritance?

Gregor Mendel used controlled breeding experiments with pea plants to study inheritance. He crossed different varieties that displayed contrasting traits and carefully analyzed the patterns of inheritance in the offspring generations. Through these controlled experiments, he was able to establish the principles of heredity.

What was Gregor Mendels main experiments?

Gregor Mendel conducted experiments on pea plants to study the patterns of inheritance of traits. He crossed peas with different traits, like round vs. wrinkled seeds or yellow vs. green seeds, and carefully analyzed the offspring to understand how traits are passed from one generation to the next. Mendel's work laid the foundation for the field of genetics.

When were Gregor mendels discoveries noticed?

Gregor Mendel's discoveries on inheritance were noticed in the early 20th century, nearly 16 years after his death in 1884. Scientists rediscovered Mendel's work in 1900, recognizing the significance of his experiments with pea plants in establishing the foundation of modern genetics.


How many alleles controlled flower color in mendels experiments?

In Mendel's experiments with pea plants, flower color was primarily controlled by a single gene with two alleles: one for purple flowers (dominant) and one for white flowers (recessive). This simple inheritance pattern allowed Mendel to observe the ratios of flower colors in the offspring, leading to his foundational principles of genetics.
