Document Summary

Lecture 25: define true breeding, hybridization, monohybrid cross, p1 generation, f1 generation, and f2 generation. Mendel performed crosses between true breeding lines. These are plants whose offspring resemble the parent over many, many generations. Mendel collected different varieties of peas that differed in a single trait and allowed them to self-pollinate until they were true breeding. In genetic terms, these true breeding plants are homozygous for that particular trait. After obtaining true breeding lines for each trait, in a typical breeding experiment, mendel would cross only one pollinate pea plants that bred true and different in trait. This mating or crossing produces a mixed variety (hybrid) and so is called a hybridization. Cross pollination- removal of anther and manually taken pollen from one plant and using it to fertilize another. In genetic terms, a monohybrid cross is between two individuals identically heterozygous at one gene pair for example, aa x aa.

In what way did Harlanâs theory give rise to Diamondâs theory?

It recognized agriculture might have developed by different mechanisms in different parts of the world.

Both make the assumption that hunter-gatherers were (and still are) superior to agriculturists.

It recognized the reason agriculture did not develop in certain parts of the world was because people lacked the intelligence or skill.

It is a basic case of scientific plagiarism - Diamonds theory is identical to Harlans theory.

It recognized that agricultural societies were healthier and better fed than hunter-gatherer societies.

What is the difference between classically bred varieties and landraces?

Landraces are not edible by humans; classical bred crops can be eaten

Landraces are grown in dry conditions; classically bred crops are wetland species

Landraces are often (though not always) developed by unintentional processes; classically bred crops are developed by intentionally breeding for desired traits using modern techniques

Landraces cannot be harvested using domesticated animals; classically bred crops can be harvested using domesticated animals.

Landraces have no means of seed dispersal; classically bred crops can readily disperse their seeds
