Summary Introduction

To explain: How the idea of hypothesis that the characteristics of the father and mother are intermingled in the offspring called at that time prior to discoveries of Gregor Mendel.

Introduction: Natural selection of an organism depends upon the challenges faced by them for survival. The process by which the heritable trait of an organism differs or changes over successive generations is called evolution. The mechanism of inheritance explained by Charles Darwin insisted on the characteristic features of progeny obtained from their parents.

When Mendel did his experiments, it was the case that the genes for each trait were on separate pairs of homologous chromosomes. For example, the genes for pod color were on one pair of chromosomes and the genes for the seed coat were on a different pair of chromosomes. What if the genes for the two traits were on the same chromosome? (That is, if the gene for pod color was on the same chromosome as the gene for seed coat.) Would Mendel’s 2nd Law still hold? Why or why not?
on Instructions: Before Mendel and his results were fully accepted, there were many theories that were proposed that tried to explain how traits were passed on from one generation to another. In the space provided, list down the important points of each theory.
