https://padlet.com/zane_smith61/2sh0ksjbkkvd What happened and the results of Gregor Mendel's famous genetics experiment. en-us 2017-10-23 13:26:59 UTC 2017-10-25 20:29:01 UTC hello@padlet.com zane_smith61 https://padlet.com/zane_smith61/2sh0ksjbkkvd/wish/199559426 In his experiment Gregor Mendel mixed types of peas together because peas were an easy thing to track traits with. He was the one that debunked all current ideas on how traits are passed down and came up with a new idea of inheritance. For this experiment he used different types of peas such as wrinkled, round, yellow, and green.]]> 2017-10-23 13:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/zane_smith61/2sh0ksjbkkvd/wish/199559426 zane_smith61 https://padlet.com/zane_smith61/2sh0ksjbkkvd/wish/199559837 The results of the first experiment came showed that every plant was the same and had the same traits. This was known as the first generation. This is called heredity and happened because all of the chromosomes created the same traits for all of the plants. (In both of his experiments he found that homozygous recessive plants are rarer than hetereozygous or dominant allele plants.)]]> 2017-10-23 13:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/zane_smith61/2sh0ksjbkkvd/wish/199559837 zane_smith61 https://padlet.com/zane_smith61/2sh0ksjbkkvd/wish/199559922 This is important today because without Gregor Mendel, we might have a somewhat primitive idea on how traits are passed down. We can also make more accurate predictions of offspring with the experiments that he conducted.]]> 2017-10-23 13:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/zane_smith61/2sh0ksjbkkvd/wish/199559922 zane_smith61 https://padlet.com/zane_smith61/2sh0ksjbkkvd/wish/199560198 This was the important generation because it showed from a purple and a white flower came a white flower instead of the usual purple. The DNA of the white flower showed this time and so did the recessive genes. After these experiments we have a more advanced idea of genetics and punnet squares. (In the experiments he did not use plants with co dominance or incomplete-dominance.)]]> 2017-10-23 13:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/zane_smith61/2sh0ksjbkkvd/wish/199560198 zane_smith61 https://padlet.com/zane_smith61/2sh0ksjbkkvd/wish/199683020 Before I started this unit I thought that plant cells would work differently than animal ones because of the variety. I still would have thought that if it weren't for Gregor Mendel. I learned a lot from probability to phenotype and genotype. It's weird to think that traits could come from something as small as a cell or even a nucleus.]]> 2017-10-23 17:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/zane_smith61/2sh0ksjbkkvd/wish/199683020
