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

THE EXCEPTIONS to Mendelian inheritance are perhaps as interesting as the many mechanisms that are upheld by Mendelian laws. These exceptions once again illustrate that nature is the master of innovation, and the subtlety and daring of the alternative mechanisms could barely be imagined a priori. 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

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 TWO. "The second law states that, "For each character trait (ie: height, color, texture etc.) an organism inherits two genes, one from each parent." This statement alludes to the fact that when somatic cells are produced from two gametes, one allele comes from the mother, one from the father. These alleles may be the same (true-breeding organisms), or different (hybrids)." https://lnkd.in/dfsvaCA View in LinkedIn

PART ONE. "Mendel's hypothesis essentially has four parts. The first part or "law" states that, "Alternative versions of genes account for variations in inherited characters." In a nutshell, this is the concept of alleles. Alleles are different versions of genes that impart the same characteristic." https://lnkd.in/dfsvaCA View in LinkedIn

VAST UNDERTAKING. Mendel initially conducted about 260 monohybrid crosses in 70 plants. It was followed by analysis of 10,000 plants for false impregnation, although cross experiments were limited to under 1,000 plants. In all he studied 29,000 pea plants. https://lnkd.in/dZZbX5P View in LinkedIn

"THE PEA PLANT which Mendel chose for conducting experiments, is most ideal for controlled breeding, since it can easily be subjected to cross pollination. Mendel was fortunate enough in choosing the seven pairs of contrasting characters in pea plants. It was later discovered that the genes responsible for these characters are located on separate chromosomes. Mendel was also fortunate in the sense that the characters he had chosen in the pea plant did not show any interaction or linkage." https://lnkd.in/dwD9Nyb View in LinkedIn

LUCK OR CARE? "Mendel obtained several varieties of peas, then subjected them to two years of trials to verify that his experimental strains would breed true –– that is, if allowed to self fertilize would always produce progeny of the same type. The use of true–breeding strains was a key factor in Mendel’s success." (34 varieties of peas for a two year trial). https://lnkd.in/dJChHYG View in LinkedIn
