In the peas that Mendel studied, the traits all affected one another. True or False.
In a typical one trait experiment of Mendel's, yellow pureline peas (YY) are crossed with green pureline peas (yy). The offspring are yellow. Then, those offspring are selfed. Which statements are / would be true about this experiment?
Mendel discovered that pea traits were inherited as unit factors occurring in pairs, these distributing to subsequent generations randomly through the gametes. The unit factors would not have been paired ifA) the temperature had been differentB) pea plants had not been diploidC) peas had been self-fertileD) The statement is false: unit factors occur singly in Mendel’s sweet peasE) The statement is false: unit factors occur in sets of three in Mendel’s sweet peas Which of the following statements about the theory of epigenesis is incorrect? A) William Harvey was its main proponent back in the 1500s and 1600s.B) It recast the focus of life to the egg, away from male contributions which had dominated theory for centuriesC) It was incompatible with the notion of preformationism, which had been popular for some timeD) It suffered from teleological notions in that it argued that the organism developed with a certain drive in a certain direction as if it knew where it was going or had a…

Describe the characteristics of the garden pea thatmade it a good organism for Mendel’s analysis of thebasic principles of inheritance. Evaluate how easy ordifficult it would be to make a similar study of inheritance in humans by considering the same attributesyou described for the pea.
One of Mendel's most significant results was the conclusion that genes determining different characteristics are transmitted independently. In pea plants, Mendel found that round peas (r) are a dominant trait over wrinkled peas (w). Mendel crossbred a group of (rr, yy) peas with a group of ( ww ,gg) peas. In t his notation, rr denotes a pea with two "round" genes and ww denotes a pea with two "wrinkled" genes. The first generation were either (rw,yg) , (rw ,gy) , (wr, yg), or (wr, gy) plants with both hybrid shape and hybrid color. Breeding among the first generation yielded second-generation plants in which genes for each characteristic were equally likely to be either dominant or recessive. What is the probability P [Y] that a second-generation pea plant has yellow seeds? What is the probability P [R] that a second-generation plant has round peas? Are R and Y independent events? How many visibly different kinds of pea plants would Mendel observe in the second generation? What are the…
