Heredity - Genes, DNA, Inheritance: Hereditary information is contained in the nucleotide sequence of DNA in a kind of code. The coded information is copied faithfully into RNA and translated into chains of amino acids. Amino acid chains are folded into

and the notion that these particles are transported from the somatic to the sex cells. The concept of special particles was correct and led to modern ideas regarding corpuscular heredity. But the second notion, which laid the foundation for the idea of the inheritance of acquired characteristics,...
Punnett square diagrams are used to predict all the possible gene combinations that could result from the mating of parents with known genotypes for a particular trait. A monohybrid cross represents the inheritance pattern of a single trait, whereas a dihybrid cross represents the inheritance patterns...

While fundamental evolutionary processes like natural selection and genetic drift are likely to still apply at least similarly in independent life forms, inheritance may be quite radically different from that envisioned by Mendel and others since....
(10)Dihybrid Cross –A cross made to study the inheritance of two pairs of contrasting traits. Exceptions of Conclusions of Mendel Incomplete Dominance (1) When neither of the alleles of a character is completely dominant over the other and the F1 hybrid is intermediate between the two parents...
Passing of traits from parents to offspring Genetics The scientific study of heredity Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) Austrian monk commonly known as the "father of genetics," used pea-plants to discover basic patterns of inheritance, allowing him to identify "dominant" and "recessive" traits. Through...
