Mendel's results demonstrated that diploid organisms have phenotypes, whereas haploid organisms have genotypes. phenotype is ind
ependent of genotype. genotype is responsible for establishing phenotype. phenotype is responsible for establishing genotype. haploid organisms have phenotypes, whereas diploid organisms have genotypes.
genotype is responsible for establishing phenotype
Explanation:
When Mendel experimented with pea plants, concept of genes and alleles had not come up yet. Through his experiments Mendel first proved that some type of combination in cells leads to a particular phenotype.
He coined the term "factors" which are today known as alleles. These factors paired up and displayed a particular phenotype. Today we know that the alleles are responsible for a genotype which ultimately results in a phenotype. Hence, he established that genotype is responsible for establishing phenotype even before the term genotype was coined.
<span>When the microscope was invented, it helped the cell theory. This invention allowed scientists to see that everything was made up of cells and see what cells do. They needed this invention in order to see that cells existed and study them more in depth.</span>
An environmental group claims that a local chemical plant is polluting a nearby river. They are calling for a shutdown of the chemical plant. The evidence that would help you the most in evaluating the claim would be (A) a repeated study that shows chemicals produced by the plant are in water harming fish or other wild life. (The answer is A.)
