How did Mendel evaluate his theory of equal segregation?
Mendel crossed pure breed plants through the process of monohybriting. the offspring came looking alike because they had inherited a dominant gene which makes them tall. When he crossed the offsprings,the inbreds came out with a ratio of 3:1. meaning 3 were tall and one was short. The short one had inherited the recessive gene, which restricted it from growing tall
Mendelian theory that two genes on a pair of homologous chromosomes are separated from each other at meiosis, eventually to end up in different gametes.

Other than Jesus, God cannot be seen. He is a spirit, so he has no color.
Now if you're talking about Jesus...when he was on Earth, he was a Semite, so he had brownish skin. Now that he's in Heaven, he has a heavenly body. Some think that Revelation 1:14,15 tells us what he looks like, but that depends on if you think that it's literal or symbolic.

What is Steinbeck's view on racism in 'Of Mice and Men'?
by getting into crooks life and showing that black people weren't as bad as people said they were.
by the end of chapter 4 we see candy standing up for crooks in front of curleys wife, showing that crooks was worth protecting and wasn't that different
even the conversation crooks has with Lennie shows how as children you are inocent and don't realise racism and treat everybody kindly but as they grow up they feel it is the norm to follow everyone else and abuse people who are different and maybe at one time they might have played with as children.
Langston Hughes uses juxtaposition, a literary device that places a person, a concept, a place, and idea, or a theme parallel to another, in order to show the contrast between the two. Consider the following: Arcie cooks and cleans on Christmas Eve, does not have a Christmas tree, and has to leave little Joe with the landlady, while the Missus and her two children shop on Christmas Eve "for more things for the tree." Arcie and little Joe have to walk in the snow, whereas the Missus "came near driving though a stoplight." Noted are but a few examples. Hughes's short story overflows with lines that invite comparison.

What is an example of racism in To Kill a Mockingbird?
In "To Kill a Mockingbird" the theme of prejudice is shown mainly through the minor characters of Boo Radley, Tom Robinson and Dolphus Raymond. Examples would be how the town of Maycomb has many different stories in how these people act even though they may not have even met them once. This could be how in Maycomb many people believe that one day when Boo was cutting out pictures from a magazine he stabbed his father. Or that Dolphus Raymond decides to live and have children with a coloured women because he's drunk all the time, although he's not, he just pretends to give them a reason. These are examples of prejudice. Scouts Aunt Alexandra was also prejudice. If you have ancestors who drank or were in to drugs she believed it ran in the family, so that everyone in that family had the same problem. She would think this even if she had never meet one of them in her life.
Also Aunt Alexandra is prejudice against Calpurnia because she says to Atticus "we don't need her now." (page 137) her reasoning is not because Cal is black its because Cal is a lower class person

How is racism used in To Kill a Mockingbird?
In To Kill a Mockingbird there are dual roles of the same people all throughout the novel. There is Atticus, the loving father, and then there is Robert E. Lee Ewell who is a terrible father. There is Calpurnia, the mother-like black maid, and then there is Mrs. Dubose's obedient black girl. There is Aunt Alexandra (and her missionary circle) the perfect example of a proper Southern woman, and then there is Miss Maudie who goes against this idea.
In terms of gender roles, you could talk about the role of women and the fact that Scout hates wearing dresses. How Aunt Alexandra and her missionary circle are the 'perfect' women and then there is Miss Maudie who wears overalls and pops out her bridge work.
For men you can talk about men as the providers of their family; like Atticus and even Mr. Cunningham (remember how he pays his bill to Mr. Finch?) and then you can talk about Mr. Ewell as someone who does not take care of his family.
Is 'The Story of Huckleberry Finn' a good way to overcome racism?
Huckleberry Finn is full of satire about different aspects of society- things still present and things from the past. Throughout the book, Huck's moral view about slavery and slaves in general changes, and since this book was written in the first person narrative it was intended to make the reader feel like they were progressing through the plot along with the character. However, Huck does not seem to completely overcome racism by the end of the book, but does get closer to that point. While Huck Finn was written with a pro-abolitionism intent, it was also meant to make the reader question what moralities society holds, and come to their own conclusion. The book merely brings up the issue of racism, but does not make the reader believe one way or another. So yes, in a way, it could be a good way to overcome racism, if that is what you get out of the book.

How does racism effect society?
- Racism breeds hatred. When one looks at the different cultures and especially the Blacks because they have been in the U.S. longer it seems so ridiculous to have a problem with each other. In Canada (although we do have a few unintelligent people that can be racist) most of us have no problem with races and don't think twice about it. Our friends range from Asian, Blacks, Iranian, etc. We love the different cultures and when you meet people and learn about them we are really all just the same. We work, pay the same taxes, and just want peace to raise our families in. I have zero tolerance for racism. It has resolved nothing for as long as racism has been, and it's the likes of JFK, Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., losing their lives for these very principles to make one realize that certain people are terrified that wars that should never have been will be ended and there will be equality for all races of man. That should tell us all something and we should learn from these great men and strive to get along together rather than to fight with one another.
- In the Province of British Columbia, we have Asians, East Indians, Western Indians, Polish, etc., and there seems to be no problems that many of us see here. Each culture is able to have their own temples, churches, etc., and have often more rights than the rest of us that were born here. We want our culture back and no matter what race comes before the justice system each and every one gets what they have coming to them. I would suggest to the above poster to move to British Columbia near Vancouver. It is certainly a multi cultural area and stalking, beating up anyone of race or sexual preference has a zero tolerance level here. There is always going to be the bullies and race has nothing to do with it. It happens in most cities.
- People think hatred is skin coloured and all, but the main fact is that we are all the same. Racism won't effect our society if we all realize that we are the same.
- Racism separates us from our neighbors. Instead of trying to better our lives or our nation we are spending more time fighting a constant battle with "that black group down the street." We become diverse and split ourselves apart, grouping together by our fellow races. We then create cities separated by race, and prefer to stay in our own city with fellow people of our race. Our country becomes divided, one race on one side and another on the other side. Our country at this point could be called 2 separate countries, and no one would care.
- It's easy to identify that members of racial and ethnic groups continue to struggle for equal access and opportunity. Often, the targeted race has a harder time doing things such as finding a well-paying job or finding a house. Racism is a rampant for all areas of employment. People of color are last hired and first hired, according to studies. As a result of budget cuts, downsizing, and privatization will disproportionately hurt people of color. The unemployment rate for adolescents of color is four times as much as white adolescents unemployment rate.
it is a glare of hatred from one race to another, that seems to reach into your very soul, hating you for what you are. It doesnt matter what your name is, your schooling, your life. The hate stare just sees the pigmentation of your skin and hates you for it. Griffin sees it as one of the most disgusting examples because it contorts the features of the face because you put on a disgusted look. It is disgusting because no one should ever stare at another human being like that.
How does William Faulkner view racism in Dry September?
I have only read: 'The Sound and the Fury' and 'As I Lay Dying.' I have also read a part of 'Light in August.' I would tend to say 'no' but at times, his use of the 'N' word seems so present in the third person narrative, I have my doubts. But, if cornered by so many scholars on the subject, I'd lean towards 'no.'

The word covert means hidden. A person may not admit to being a racist, or might claim to be racially tolerant, yet still may commit acts of racial discrimination, such as for example, hiring only members of a certain race, and not hiring people of other races (assuming that such a person is in a position to make hiring decisions).
It is not racist at all, if it is thought about it is the same as calling one of our race a brit, we do not get offended at all and it is used globally with no racism caused, Pakistan people have no right to say that paki is offensive as in the normal routes it is not.
Why is it that everyone who was black or for the blacks like Kennedy were killed?
People who were black or for the blacks were killed because some racist people did not think blacks deserved anything because of their color. If any one stood up for blacks, the racist people, like the Klu Klux Klan, would think them just as low as the blacks. They probably thought blacks were nothing but servants or laborers. Oh, and not everyone was killed, just most people. Rosa Parks wasn't killes, but Martin Luther and Kenney were.
You don't. You stop it. Racism is one of the worlds biggest problems. It starts arguements that turn into fights and maybe then a small war. If you're doing anything including racism, try to stop it.
