What is Gregor Mendel's theory called and what exactly does it state?
Gregor Mendel's theory was called Pangenesis. And what it actually states is sort of confusing. But a helpful website that you can use is this: http://anthro.palomar.edu/mendel/mendel_1.htm It helped me and hopfully it will help you.
How is polygenic inheritance difference from the patterns describe by mendel?
Polygenic inheritance includes traits coming from one source. Mendel described traits as dominant or recessive and that determination created the charts determining the offspring outcome.
Unless the alleles are codominate (which Mendel did not have in pea plants), one will be dominate and will be what you see (phenotype) and one will be recessive and you will not see it.
How has Grete Gregor's sister changed since Gregor's transformation?
She takes care of Gregor and helps more around the house. (Apex)
What would most likely stopped Mendel from finding a pattern is his results?
if seed color and shape were located on the same chromosome
What did Mendel call the first two individuals that mate in genetic cross?
Mendel called the first two individuals that mate in a genetic cross the P generation.
The P generation
How does mendel law of independent assortment assure genetic diversity?
because of the assortment from the homolog
Mendel selected pea plant for his experiments on hybridization and got success. This was because-1. Pea plant was self pollinated and the characters observed by him was stable. 2. Pea plant has so many variability in flower color, pod shape, plant length, position of inflorescence, shape of seed etc.
3. The life span of the plant under observation was short hence he could raise many generations to see the pattern of inheritance of characters. 4. He kept numerical record of the data (application of mathematics in genetic studies).
What did gregor Mendel do to study different characteristics in his genetics experiment?
He cross-pollinated plants
by observing and comparing the physical features of the pea plants
What was some of the work of others that Mendel used as background information for his experiments?
During his college work, Mendel studied under Johnann Nestler, who did research on breeding sheep for maximum output of wool. From this, Mendel saw that specific traits could be passed from one generation to the next. His work at the abbey gave this idea a scientific foundation that, amazingly, was lost for almost 40 years.
What was the purpose of Mendel's experiments with?
To determine if one trait could affect the inheritance of another trait
He tested seed color and shape at the same time
Gregor wishes he himself could have used the money to pay off his parents debt faster but is happy his family has the money.
How did Mendel test the idea that the color of the seed of a pea plant affected the seed shape?
He tested seed shape and color at the same time.
