PART THREE. "The third law, in relation to the second, declares that, "If the two alleles differ, then one, the dominant allele, is fully expressed in the organism's appearance; the other, the recessive allele, has no noticeable effect on the organism's appearance." https://lnkd.in/dfsvaCA View in LinkedIn

PART FOUR. "The fourth law states that, "The two genes for each character segregate during gamete production." This is the last part of Mendel's generalization. This references meiosis when the chromosome count is changed from the diploid number to the haploid number. The genes are sorted into separate gametes, ensuring variation." https://lnkd.in/dfsvaCA View in LinkedIn

CORE. "The most important principle of Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment is that the emergence of one trait will not affect the emergence of another. For example, a pea plant's inheritance of the ability to produce purple flowers instead of white ones does not make it more likely that it would also inherit the ability to produce yellow peas in contrast to green ones." https://lnkd.in/dfsvaCA View in LinkedIn

SEVEN CHARACTERISTICS. "Mendel started his experiments by carefully selecting seven qualitative characters in peas (Pisum sativum L.) in 1856, and his results were published in 1866." Astonishingly this is the basis of our knowledge of predictable Mendelian inheritance. https://lnkd.in/d42Fwde View in LinkedIn

MONOGENIC INHERITANCE. "Mendelian inheritance patterns are well-established, and readily recognizable as ‘textbook’ examples, for many single gene diseases, and a few digenic cases." https://lnkd.in/d7vkJAx View in LinkedIn

R&D ON MENDEL'S GENES. "The discipline of classical genetics is founded on the hereditary behavior of the seven genes studied by Gregor Mendel. The advent of molecular techniques has unveiled much about the identity of these genes." https://lnkd.in/d42Fwde View in LinkedIn

GENE CLONING. "It is fascinating to trace the fate of Mendel’s genes over the past 145 years. In some cases, we can do this with considerable certainty, tracing it through to the molecular cloning of the gene concerned and the establishment of its function, but for other genes the history is somewhat murkier." https://lnkd.in/d42Fwde View in LinkedIn

MENDEL'S PEA GENE SEQUENCES. "To date, four genes have been sequenced: A (flower color), LE (stem length), I (cotyledon color), and R (seed shape). Two of the other three genes, GP (pod color) and FA (fasciation), are amenable to candidate gene approaches on the basis of their function, linkage relationships, and synteny between the pea and Medicago genomes." https://lnkd.in/d42Fwde View in LinkedIn

LOOSE ENDS. "However, even the gene (locus) identity is not known for certain for the seventh character, the pod form, although it is probably V. While the nature of the mutations used by Mendel cannot be determined with certainty, on the basis of the varieties available in Europe in the 1850s, we can speculate on their nature." https://lnkd.in/d42Fwde View in LinkedIn
