    “Fly-ing Around with Gregor Mendel” (Thomas) “Hunting for some Drosophila Melanogaster” Figure 25.  Introduction: “All living organism, no matter how primitive or complex, are the result of the workings of genetics. Living organisms are composed of lifeless molecules. These molecules conform to all of the physical and chemical laws that describe inanimate matter” (Knowles).

    of genetics, was a monk who studied pea plants and discovered the laws of heredity. Heredity is the passing of traits from one generation to another. There are three laws and they are known as; the law of dominance, law of segregation, and the law of independent assortment. The law of dominance states that the dominant alleles always show and the recessive alleles can be hidden because of that. For example, if brown eyes are dominant in a family, their genotype would be AA or Aa. In a heterozygous

    traits such as height and from his observations was able to conclude that traits expressed in offspring depend on the type of allele an individual receives from each parent because although 2alleles are inherited, only one is expressed. His law of dominance proposes traits are either dominant or recessive; dominant traits requiring one copy of the gene whereas recessive must have 2 copies of the allele present in-order for the recessive trait to be expressed. He explained the disappearance of one
