Where did Gregor Mendel first learn about flowers and fruit trees?

Asked by Wiki User

He first learned about them when he was on a journey to Mecca. His best friend and long time girlfriend Phoebe was alaong for the ride, and she had fallen, breaking her face. They tried to figure out whys he had fallen when a leaf monkey came up form behind and started to throw coins at them. This is when the lightbulb was invented.

Who studied genetics with pea plants?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The monk named Gregor Mendel is called the Father of Genetics. His experiments with pea plants showed that the inheritance of certain traits follows particular patterns, subsequently becoming the foundation of modern genetics and leading to the study of heredity. Even though he did his work in the mid 1800's, he wasn't given credit until the turn of the century (1900).

No, Gregor Mendel dies in 1884, and the Nobel Prize was first established in 1895.

When was Gregor Mendel's work recognized?

Asked by Wiki User

He published his findings in 1865 but it was not until after his death, more than 30 years later, that his work widely recognized published his findings in 1865 but it was not until after his death, more than 30 years later, that his work widely recognized.

Why would the world be different without Gregory Mendel?

Asked by Wiki User

While he crossed 2 pea plants (1 yellow/round-dominant, 1 green/wrinkled-recessive; both plants are heterozygous), he saw that 9 of the offspring were yellow and round, 3 of them were green and round, 3 were yellow and wrinkled, and 1 was green and wrinkled. As shown, this is a dihybrid problem (16 squares). Monohybrid problems are very simple.

There is also incomplete dominance where a red flower and a white flower cross and produce pink flowers; this means that the offspring did not have the alleles from the parents, so the traits blended. Another type would be co-dominance where the offspring share the alleles of both parents; an example would be the roan cattle (it has both red and white colors from its parents). Multiple alleles are usually in blood types (type A, B, O). Blood type AB is co-dominant.

Today, scientists recognize Mendel's discovery of genetics; therefore, it is important people should study genetics in biology.

What did Gregor Mendel contribute to evolution?

Mendel's Laws of Inheritance include the following:
  1. Law of Segregation - each trait has two copies and each parent gives one copy of the trait to the offspring (proven by meiosis).
  2. Law of Independent Assortment - separate genes for separate traits are passed to the offspring independently. One trait selection has nothing to do with another trait selection (not true for "linked" genes).

What are some of the newest inventions?

well they have been working on this "invention" for the past 10 years. it is the #1 invention they have spend the most money on. some biologists are taking the DNA of a human being. and they are looking through the bases and chromosomes and looking for "the mistake". in other words they are trying to find where the root of the cancer/disease comes from. once they find it they are going to cut it off. and prevent cancer in that genetics.

further more, they would like to mess around and change the hair color. and what so not.

Are pea plants self fertilize?

In F 2 , he got 3:1 ratio in tall and dwarf pea plants .
Phenotype - All Tall

TT x Tt

TT (75%) Tall

Tt (25%) Tall

What did Gregor Mendel experiment show For his peas experiments?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He discovered that certain genetic traits obeyed statistical laws. He postulated that the frequency of the appearance of those traits was best explained by dominance, recessiveness and co-dominance of genetic material passed from the parent plants.

When did Gregor Mendel conduct his experiments?

Gregor mendel conducted his experiments that were of greater significance between the years of 1856 and 1863.

What did Gregor Mendel learn about Dominate and Recessive traits?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mendel was doing research in his lab... and found that when two parents with contrasting characters are crossed only one character is expressed in F1 generation and in F2 generation both characters appear in separate plants in a definite proportion. the one which dominated in F1 was a dominant character and thus the Principle of Dominance was discovered.

How does genetic drift work?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Genetic drift is the term used for random evolutionary developments that have equal "survival-value" with respect to natural selection. Natural selection defines broad parameters for what kind of traits organisms existing in a certain environment should ideally have, but within these parameters there is a lot of room for random drift.

What were gregor Mendel's findings?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mendel interpreted his results intelligently. He imagined that the contrasting form of a trait, tall or short was determined by heredity factors. Each individual had a pair of these factors .One factor of this pair had come in him from his male parent and the other from his female parent .Both of these factors together controlled expression of trait in him. Mendel assigned symbols to factors.
