Mendel concluded that pea traits like flower color were determined by separate units. From the results, Mendel proved that all traits do not blend. For instance, purple flowers mixed with white flowers did not produce pink flowers.
Since all of the offspring have the purple phenotype, this tells us that the purple allele is dominant to the white allele. ... This means that 75% of the offspring displayed the dominant phenotype of purple flowers, and 25% displayed the recessive phenotype of white flowers.
Two pea plants, both heterozygous for flower color, are crossed. The offspring will show the dominant purple coloration in a 3:1 ratio. Or, about 75% of the offspring will be purple.
Mendel's Results
Mendel noted the ratio of white flowered plants to purple-flowered plants was about 3:1. That is, for every three purple-flowered plants, there was one white flowered plant.
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Linked genes are the genes that are present on the same chromosome and can undergo the process the recombination. The recombinant progeny are obtained by the crossing of the linked genes.
The recombinant frequency and map distance can be deduced by the mapping of the linked genes. The genotype of the heterozygote cannot be deduced by examining phenotype and sometimes the recombinant progeny is completely different from the parents as well as from the heterozygotes.
Thus, the correct answer is false.
Answer:
c. pituitary gland
Explanation:
The hypo(below) thalamus is an almond size structure located superiorly to the brainstem. it is located below the thalamus. Hence the name hypothalamus.
It is primary function is is to control the body homeostatic functions of sleeping and waking up, sex, thirst and hunger etc.
It performs these roles by serving as the primary link of the nervous system with the endocrine system. Pituitary gland is an example of endocrine gland that secrets many hormones. (they are called endocrine because the hormones are secreted directly into the blood streams.
<u>Its activities are controlled by the nervous stimulation from hypothalamus. Therefore the instructions to secretes certain hormones to the post and anterior part of the pituitary gland depends on the hypothalamus.</u>
Growth hormones, oestrogen, and thyroid are examples of hormones of the pituitary glands.

Explanation:
Darwin proposed his theory of evolution on the premise of natural selection. According to him, organisms which possess favourable characteristics which enable them to survive in their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on these favourable characteristics to their offsprings.
According to Mendel, the unit of inheritance passed on from parents to offspring are genes. Hence Darwin's factors are Mendel's genes.
If Darwin knew of Mendel's work. It might have influenced his presentation of the idea of passing on favourable characteristics from parents to offspring in the light of genetics.
This would have made Darwin's work to have more empirical backing hence making it more widely accepted.
