The Work of Mendel
- Gregor Mendel was a Austrian monk
- He did genetic experiments
with pea plants
- He noted how characteristics
in plants were passed on from
one generation to the next
- He published his research in 1866,
Eventually became the foundation of modern
genetics
- The diagrams show two crosses for height in pea plants that
Mendel carried out...
- He shown that the height characteristic
in pea plant was determined by
separately inherited "Hereditary unit"
passed on from parent
- Mendel reached three important
conclusion about heredity in plants
- 1. Characteristic in plants are
determined by "Hereditary Unit"
- 2.Hereditary unit are passed on from
both parents, one unit from each parent
- 3. Hereditary unit can be
Dominant or Recessive
