This year is the bicentenary of the birth of Mendel and is therefore an appropriate time to revisit Mendel’s discoveries, overview his contribution, and discuss both the hidden value and …

In this famous experiment, Mendel purposefully cross-pollinated pea plants based on their different features to make important discoveries on how traits are inherited between generations.

Gregor Mendel, who is known as the "father of modern genetics", was inspired by both his professors at university and his colleagues at the monastery to study variation in plants, and …

Mendel’s laws are simply the rules of probability applied to heredity. Because chance has no memory, the genotype of each child is unaffected by the genotypes of older siblings.

in a 3:1 ratio, Mendel proposed the law of segregation. This law states that paired unit factors (genes) must segregate equally into gametes such that offspri g have an equal likelihood of …
