If it wasn’t for plants‚ none of us would be here alive today. That is because they provide us with the oxygen we need to breathe to survive.

Introduction: The study of genes‚ Genetics‚ is a branch in Medicine that studies how genes are formed‚ distributed and how they change the organisms’ characteristics. The pioneer in the field of Genetics‚ Mendel‚ was able to formulate various laws based on genes‚ such as the law of segregation. Even though Mendel did not know about the existence of DNA‚ he was able to show that some traits are carried to offspring‚ even though the parents did not appear to have the gene. There are two types of genes‚ the

The Genetics of Fast Plants Kristin Phillips Dr. Orlando April 4‚ 2014 Abstract The experiment that was being completed was the genetics of plants using Fast Plants. The purpose of this project was to understand Mendel’s concept of a Dihybrid by performing similar crosses and calculated the phenotypes that are displayed. This project was conducted over many weeks by planting F1 seed and waiting for them to grow then cross-pollinating the F1 plants to produce the F2 seeds. Next students

Explain how you made your conclusion using evidence from the pedigree and the principles of genetics. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive trait. If you have one CF gene and one non-CF gene‚ you will be a carrier but not have CF. I referred back to Mendel mentioning that the trait may not show up in somebody but it can still be passed on to the next generation. He also states that the inheritance of each trait is determined by genes that are passed on unchanged. So as the CF gene is not present‚ it
