4 days ago · Mendelian Genetics. For thousands of years (or more!), humans have known that progeny resemble their parents and have taken advantage of this knowledge to try to breed better plants and animals. However, the basic mechanism by which traits are inherited was not understood until 1866, when a Moravian monk named Gregor Mendel published his ...

1 day ago · Gregor Mendel. The existence of discrete inheritable units was first suggested by Gregor Mendel (1822–1884). From 1857 to 1864, in Brno, Austrian Empire (today's Czech Republic), he studied inheritance patterns in 8000 common edible pea plants, tracking distinct traits from parent to offspring.

5 days ago · Classical Genetics, the study of patterns of inheritance, began with the rediscovery of Mendel's work in 1900 and flourished through the first half of the century. Because genetics developed so rapidly in just a few decades after 1900, the literature of that period constitutes a valuable resource even now.
1 day ago · Mendel, a monk who pioneered in genetic experiments, performed his experiments on pea plants in the 1800s. He meticulously studied how traits are inherited between pea plant generations before the discovery of DNA and is considered the father of genetics.
5 days ago · Hugo de Vries was a Dutch botanist and geneticist who introduced the experimental study of organic evolution. His rediscovery in 1900 (simultaneously with the botanists Carl Correns and Erich Tschermak von Seysenegg) of Gregor Mendel’s principles of heredity and his theory of biological mutation,

Definition: Allele. An allele is an alternative version of a gene. Mendel’s experiments demonstrated monohybrid inheritance, which is the inheritance of a characteristic that is controlled by a single gene. In this case, the characteristic is flower color, which has two traits: it can be either white or purple.
3 days ago · identify the laws that Mendel wrote following his experiments as the law of dominance, the law of independent assortment, and the law of segregation, use genetic crosses and diagrams to determine dominant and recessive traits and simple phenotypic ratios.
