Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance

Science > Biology > Genetic Basis of Inheritance > Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance The first scientific explanation of inheritance was given by Mendel in 1866. He performed a series of experiments on garden pea in a scientific manner and proposed rules. which are called as Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance. His work is known as Mendelism. He laid […]

Polygenic Inheritance

Science > Biology > Genetic Basis of Inheritance > Polygenic Inheritance Mendel performed his experiments with garden pea plant, which has traits or alleles having complete dominance and hence the laws of inheritance were proved. Other scientists performed their experiments on different plants and animals and found deviations to Mendelian ratios. Depending upon these experiments and […]

Terminology of Genetics

Science > Biology > Genetic Basis of Inheritance > Terminology of Genetics In this article, we shall study the terminology of Genetics and understand the concept of alleles. Heredity: The transmission of characters from one generation to the next, that is from parents to offsprings (progeny) is known as heredity. These hereditary characters are present on […]

Introduction to Genetics

Science > Biology > Genetic Basis of Inheritance > Introduction to Genetics In this article, we shall study the history of the science of genetics and the contribution of Gregor Mendel to Genetics. History of Genetics From the earliest recorded history, ancient civilizations observed patterns in reproduction. Animals produce offspring of the same species, children […]

Elastic and Inelastic Collision

Science > Physics > Force >Elastic and Inelastic Collision When two bodies moving along a straight line collide with each other the collision is called the head-on collision. In a head-on collision, the initial and the final velocities are along the same straight line. Elastic Collision: The collision in which the total kinetic energy, as […]
