Aim: To investigate the effect of one environmental factor on the phenotype of pea plants Background Information: Pea seeds are available with identical genetic information for height - tall or dwarf peas. These seeds can be used to demonstrate the effect of the environment on the final height of the pea plants. Tall or dwarf peas can be grown in identical conditions where all variables are kept constant apart from one environmental factor. Any differences in the height of the pea plants will be

experiment was plant six different crosses and water them correctly so that we could observe the different phenotypes and compare them to Mendel’s proposed ratios. Mendel‚ who had studied peas‚ did a similar experiment and came up with specific ratios that a monohybrid and dihybrid cross should show. His findings were that for a monohybrid cross‚ such as my crosses three and six‚ the phenotypes would have a ratio of 3:1 (Russell 2003). My results show that cross six fails to reject Mendel’s hypothesis

Genetics X143 Professor Yund 4.23.13 How do genes generate the Phenotype? “Every aspet of an organism is determined or influenced by the genes of the organism” What genes are‚ what they do‚ how they interact with eachother and the enviroment to generate a phenotype. Genes are segments of DNA that code for proteins or RNA molecules. These genes are the genetic material that is passed down from generation to generation in all species. The individual DNA segments each individual carries are

Altruism for Survival “Pure” altruism is defined as the showing unselfish concern for another’s welfare without personal gain. However according to Richard Dawkins‚ in his Selfish Gene theory‚ pure altruism does not exist. This theory all boils down to expanding and maximizing inclusive fitness. The term selfish does not imply that there is any motives or will to act that way but can be accurately described in that manner. In this theory the body of every living creature‚ from an amoeba to

I. Describe the three kinds of genotype-environmental effects Scarr and McCartney assume and give an example of each. In a Passive genotype-environmental effect‚ the genetically related parents provide a rearing environment that is correlated with the genotype (genetic makeup of an organism) of the child. A child’s environment is correlated with their genes‚ which correlate with their parents’ genes because he or she is making decisions likely from their own preferences. Passive genotype-environmental

How does variation play a role in population’s phenotypes? Phenotypes are characteristics of an organism which we notice through different physical features such as hair color‚ body weight‚ capabilities‚ the way someone might behave‚ etc. Variation is the differences in an individual in the population‚ Variation plays an important role in phenotype because it helps us understand life.‚ we see a variety of attributes everywhere each one mirrors an alternative important reason. For example‚ a bear

Scientific Paper 4-10-13 Determining the Unknown Genotype of Corn Plants of the Zea mays Species from the Phenotypes of Offspring Produced Abstract No one particular organism is an exact replica of another. Diversity in the world is key for future generations to adapt to the fast changing world. This lab observed the corn plant of the Zea mays species to determine the genotype for the gene of tall versus dwarf in unknown parent corn plants by observing the seedlings produced. It was hypothesized
