Document Summary
Work rediscovered in 1900s (darwin didn"t gaf about his book) He had a sense of his importance at the time but didn"t really go out and gain the attention. If you have a harsh environment and effects how the physical appearance. The phenotype need not express that exact genotype. Pure bread a plant, when pollinated using its own pollen always produces offspring identical to its parents. Through generations they always basically stay the same. A version of the genetic code contributed by each parent. We all have genes for a variety of things such as ear wax colour (chromosome 16) A section of a chromosome that carries the genetic code for a trait. Gene the same throughout the allele is different. The expression of a trait is controlled by discrete units that occur in pairs and offspring inherit one from each parent. Law of independent assortment alleles for one trait will assort independently of those for one trait.
