[18112013] Mendelian Genetics
Posted on Thursday, November 21, 2013 at 11:21 PM

Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) studied the inheritance of different characteristics in pea plants. He found that when he bred red-flowered plants with white-flowered plants, all the offspring produced red flowers. If he bred these plants with each other, most of the offspring had red flowers, but some had white. This was because the allele for red flowers is dominant, and the allele for white flowers is recessive. Genetic diagrams help to show how this works.

These two videos helped me understand the concept of Mendelian Genetics:
