A potential factor that might have stopped Mendel from finding a pattern in his results would be if seed shape did not have a clearly recessive form. This ambiguity would have made it difficult for him to observe consistent inheritance patterns, as the traits would not segregate in a predictable manner. The clarity of dominant and recessive traits was crucial for Mendel's conclusions about inheritance.
If seed shape did not have a clearly recessive form
A. If seed shape did not have a clearly recessive form, Mendel might have struggled to discern a pattern in his results. The existence of distinct dominant and recessive traits allowed him to observe consistent ratios in offspring, which were crucial for formulating his laws of inheritance. Without clear recessive traits, the patterns he identified in his experiments would likely have been obscured, hindering his ability to develop his foundational principles of genetics.

Yes, the inheritance of free-hanging earlobes (referred to as the "unattached" phenotype) is often thought to follow a simple recessive pattern, with the unattached earlobes trait being recessive to attached earlobes. This means that to have free-hanging earlobes, an individual would need to inherit two copies of the recessive allele.

If Mendel had not controlled for factors such as environmental conditions or genetic variations within his pea plants, he would have been less likely to find a pattern in his results. Additionally, if he had a small sample size or limited data, this could have also prevented him from detecting patterns in his experiments.

The person with the recessive trait seems to 'skip' a generation
About 40% of SCID cases are inherited from the parents in an autosomal recessive pattern.
The inheritance pattern of the BRCA1 gene is dominant.

dominant only appears in the F1 generation as 4 recessive stays hidden or masked in the F1 generation
