made via pea plant experiments conducted by him over 1856 to 1863 that showed how certain traits are passed on to next generation. Over this time period he is said to have tested over 5000 pea plants and from this he derived the law of Mendelian Inheritance He was able to predict the probabilities of certain characteristics being passed onto the offspring of plants. He showed that certain factors‚ now known as genes‚ affected

Syllabus—Biology 100 Dr. B. Pozos Welcome! Course Philosophy Biology 100 is an exciting and important course for non-science majors that applies general concepts in Biology towards every day living. Part of my philosophy behind this course is governed by the dual realizations that 1) healthcare delivery is very confusing to patients who do not understand biological terminology and processes and 2) that for many of you‚ Biology 100 will be your first and last science course. Eventually all
