The first experiment that only produced yellow seeds‚ Mendel called the dominant gene. As a second experiment‚ Mendel bred the yellow offspring together allowing it to self-fertilize‚ which resulted in having both yellow and green seeded plants. Again‚ we ask why and how is this possible? This question led Mendel to determine that the green colour trait was a recessive gene‚ hidden by the yellow dominant gene. (Diaz‚ n.d.) After analyzing the results from his experiments it steered him to the

Cloning plants Many plants clone themselves naturally to reproduce. They send a small shoot-like structure called a runner‚ along the soil. The runner grows into a new separate plant‚ which is genetically identical to the original plant - a clone. People can clone plants by simply taking a cutting of the plant such as a twig or stem and planting it. This is called vegetative propagation. Horticulturists use cloning to grow plants with specific qualities‚ like height‚ flower colour and quality

of the atom and not long after‚ soon realized the power of genes. Genetic Engineering is going to become a very mainstream part of our lives sooner or later‚ because there are so many advantages involved. One advantage is that diseases could be prevented by detecting people‚ plants‚ animals that are genetically prone to certain hereditary diseases‚ and preparing for the inevitable. Also‚ infectious diseases can be treated by implanting genes that code for antiviral proteins specific to each antigen

out what went wrong and if it was a onetime occurrence or a genetic abnormality that no one in the family knew about until the recent discovery. This genetic abnormality occurs when there is a dominant gene which comes from a parent. This dominant gene attaches itself to a recessive gene and sparks a change in the genetic sequence of the offspring. This is most relevant as I was observing my nephew last weekend. My brother is “dark skinned”‚ tall and slim. My sister-in law is of French decent

He is known as the father of genetics but in his time his work was not widely accepted because people felt he tweaked his results they seemed too good. Key terms: Genotype the symbolic representation of pairs of alleles Phenotype the characteristics or traits of an organism Dominant allele An allele that

Diseases Our bodies are made up of cells and within those cells hold our unique DNA and genetic make-up called genes. Genes are made up of strings of DNA and contain the directions that our bodies use to make the millions of proteins our bodies use (Ireland‚ 2010). Our genes are further organized into something called a chromosome. A chromosome contains our genes and in those genes you will find our DNA (Ireland‚ 2010)‚ so you can say that our bodies are like a huge filing cabinet and the chromosomes
