Chapter 12.1, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The results, observed by Mendel on pea plant monohybrid cross, that disapprove the blending “Theory of Inheritance.”
Introduction:
The monohybrid cross takes into consideration only one trait. Mendel performed monohybrid cross out of the seven traits of Pisum sativum. The cross performed on the pea plant by Mendel were in support of purity of gametes. The result of

While traits Mendel worked with all adhered to his principles of inheritance, this is not the norm because phenotypes are typically a combination of both genetic and what other kind of influence?

Mendel said that those traits were essentially the same trait. Could Mendel be including traits that were very closely linked or that were due to the same genetic factor? Did he need to distinguish between these two possibilities in order to reject them as evidence for his Law of Independent Assortment? Why or why not?arrow_forward
