Document Summary
Section 12. 1 what are the mendelian laws of inheritance: each parent contributes equally to offspring (supported by experiments) In 1770s, kolreuter studied offspring of reciprocal crosses, where plants mated with each other in both directions, which proved the statement above: hereditary determinants blend in offspring (not supported by experiments) Mendel refuted this: mendel brought new methods to experiments on inheritance. At first, mendel"s theory of inheritance was ignored because of his use of mathematical terms that no one understood, yet after meiosis was discovered, his work was used: mendel devised a careful research plan. He chose peas because of ease of cultivation and controlled pollination to know the parentage of the offspring. If flower untouched, then the female organ of the flower. D. 2. received pollen from its male organ to self-pollinate. Trait: particular form of a character (purple flowers) He used well-defined traits and had to be true- D. 6. breeding (observed trait present for many generations)
