why was it important that mendel saw 3:1 ratios for multiple traits as opposed to only seeing it for flower color?

There is an emphasis on 3:1 ratios when learning genetics because they represent an important case by illustrating the impact of dominant-recessive relationships between alleles on mating outcomes.

The F2 generation produced a 3:1 ratio where the dominant trait is present three times as compared to the recessive trait. Mendel used two terms to describe the relationship of the two phenotypes based on F1 and F2 phenotypes. The hereditary determinants are of specific nature. In 3:1 ratios , there are three progeny with the dominant phenotype for every one with the recessive phenotype

This implies that three offspring will have a dominant phenotype and there is one offspring that will have a recessive genotype, that is the recessive phenotype. Hence, the overall ratio of dominant to recessive phenotypes is 3:1.

is to manage the blood circulation to the heart muscle. The Left main coronary artery (LMCA) distributes blood to the left side of your heart muscle and the Right coronary artery (RCA) distributes blood to the right atrium, right ventricle, sinoatrial (SA) and atrioventicular (AV) nodes, which controls your heart rhythm.

A very short period of extremely rapid expansion, called , is thought to have occurred when the universe was about 10-38 second

adell [148]

Inflation is a sudden and extremely rapid expansion of the universe that occurred in a tiny fraction of a second during the universes's first second to existence. More specifically, inflation is thought to have occurred as the strong and electroweak forces, froze out, from the GUT force when the universe was a mere 10-38 second old.

Scientists have discovered that the inner core of Earth is a solid while the outer core is a liquid. What is the cause of this o

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Scientists figured out that the outer core must be liquid because S waves do not pass through it, but P waves do. The behavior of P and S waves also indicates that the inner core is solid. The speed of seismic waves also depends on the density of the material through which they are traveling.

What is The most common way of weighing a horse

Softa [21]

Hello!

Most people these days will use a weight/height tape. THey put the tape around the girth/heart girth of the horse and calculate it's weight. Or they could use a forklift and a sling to carry the horse while a weight is attacked. Much like a fishing weight. However, the tape measure is used most often.

I hope this helped!

I am, yours most sincerely,
