the growth and germination of the corn was determined by planting ten seeds per treatment with varying doses. Four hills representing the different treatments were made in which the seeds were planted five centimetres apart. The plant was observed from July 15 to September 16‚ 2013. Results showed that seeds treated with 10 kr radiation obtained the highest average height of 128.90 cm with 100 % germination and survival. The seeds treated with 50 kr radiation obtained 0% survival rate and the lowest

and his studies that helped him carry out these experiments. He usually chose to work with pea plants and selected only those ones that were cultivated in controlled atmosphere and were a pure variety. He cross bred many seeds and then found out results of the seven most evident seeds and variations. It was concluded by Mendel that short plants created only short heighted off springs while tall plants gave both short and long plants. He also discovered that only one third of the long heighted plants
