Gregor Mendel performed many experiments to discover the principles that governs inheritance. He crossed purebreeding plants with certain traits to obtain offsprings that phenotypically express same traits. The offsprings will be phenotypically identical to one of the parents for that particular trait. This kind of cross is called a MONOHYBRID CROSS and the offsprings are referred to as MONOHYBRIDS.
They are called MONOHYBRIDS because they differ in only one characteristics or trait.
Because people may make fun of you or call you some terrible things because stds are often linked by sleeping around (obvi not always true but that’s what people make it out to be)
It is possible to use the information of the nucleotidesequence of one strand to determine the sequence of the other strand.
Deoxyribonucleicacid (DNA) is a biological molecule with two strands. Each strand is made up of a sequence of nucleotides. The DNA nucleotides are Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G) and Thymine (T).
In a DNA molecule, Adenine forms an hydrogen bond with Thymine i.e. A-T, while Guanine forms an hydrogen bond with Cytosine i.e. G-C.
Therefore, it is possible to use the information of the nucleotidesequence of one strand to determine the sequence of the other strand. For example, a strand with ATGCGTACGAT will form the following sequence: TACGCATGCTA
