Abstract The plant Brassica rapa is a fast plant most commonly known as the field mustard. The plant itself particularly well known for its extremely fast rate of growth‚ making it easy to breed and cross pollinate several generations. Due to its ability of rapid growth it has become a favorite for scientist to test the theories of inheritance on. In our case we tested to see if we could affect the overall hairiness of different generations. F1 seed was ordered‚ germinated and cross-pollinated

bond makes the G/C pair stronger. 2. How does an organism’s genotype determine its phenotype? The genotype is the organisms’ hereditary information while the phenotype is how the organism displays its properties. Another way of saying this is that the gene contributes to a particular trait while the phenotype is the expression of that gene. The genotype plays a large role in determining the development of the phenotype but other factors also play into its development such as plasticity

possessed mutation #644. It is a mutation in wing morphology that reduces wing size. A controlled cross was conducted between these two true-breeding mutant flies. Their progeny (F1) being heterozygous for both mutations displayed only wild type phenotypes. These two mutations in Drosophila are both believed to follow an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Figure 1. Images Drosophila melanogaster with mutations.

Explain how Mendel’s particulate mechanism differed from the blending theory of inheritance. • Blending: parents genes mixed • Particulate: parents genes still retain identity\ The blending theory was that genetic material contributed by the two parents mixes in a manner analogous to the way blue and yellow make green

Introduction Gregor Mendel‚ the father of Genetics‚ experimented on many different things that now help us understand inheritance. His famous experiments include the ones he performed on pea plants to show the system of heredity. After a plentiful amount of experiments‚ he identified that specific traits show up in the offspring without any blending of parental characteristics (M.Nirenberg). Mendel discovered the principles of independent assortment‚ which states that allele pairs split independently

dominant phenotype and one for the recessive phenotype. These two alleles comprise the gene pair. One member of the gene pair segregates into a gamete‚ thus each gamete only carries one member of the gene pair. Gametes unite at random and irrespective of the other gene pairs involved.(Carlson) The purpose of this lab is to teach students how traits of an organism can be predicted with a dihybrid cross using the recessive and dominant traits. Using a dihybrid cross given the phenotype and genotype of F1

arrangements of A‚ C‚ T‚ and G. 2. How does an organism’s genotype determine its phenotype? Genotype is a term that refers to a living organism’s genetic makeup‚ whereas phenotype refers to an organism’s actual physical traits. Being that genotype describes an organisms genetic characteristics‚ this would also mean that the genetic characteristics that makes up one’s genotype will also determine that individuals phenotype‚ or physical characteristics. Since genetics play a major role
