Gregor Mendel's principles of inheritance form the cornerstone of modern genetics. So just what are they? When looking at the figure, notice that for each F 1 plant, the self-fertilization resulted in ...

Here you will learn about the basics of Gregor Mendel's experiments, which defined the basic patterns of inheritance. We will also examine Morgan's early experiments on linkage and the discovery of ...

The promise of pharmacogenetics, the study of the role of inheritance in the individual variation in drug response, lies in its potential to identify the right drug and dose for each patient. Even ...

AbstractWhen populations experience suboptimal conditions, the mechanisms involved in the regulation of phenotypic variation can be challenged, resulting in increased phenotypic variance. This kind of ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...
