Gregor Mendel's principles of inheritance form the cornerstone of modern genetics. So just what are they? When looking at the figure, notice that for each F 1 plant, the self-fertilization resulted in ...

Pity Gregor Mendel. Far enough ahead of his peers that his work wasn’t appreciated in his own lifetime. When the world was finally ready to deal with his results, the scientific community almost ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

Genomics involves the study of genes, genetics, inheritance, molecular biology, biochemistry, biological statistics and incorporates the knowledge of advanced technology, computer science and ...

The year was 1900. Three European botanists — one Dutch, one German and one Austrian — all reported results from breeding experiments in plants. Each claimed that they had independently discovered ...

A diploid strain of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was found to be heterozygous for two forms of the highly repetitious ribosomal DNA. These forms could be distinguished by the pattern of fragments ...
