Pleiotropy

Science > Biology > Genetic Basis of Inheritance > Pleiotropy 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 observations, […]

Mendel’s Dihybrid Cross Experiment

Science > Biology > Genetic Basis of Inheritance > Mendel’s Dihybrid Cross Experiment In this article, we shall study Mendel’s dihybrid cross experiment and its conclusions. 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 […]

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 […]

Branches of Biology (Brief Idea)

Science > Biology > General Biology > Branches of Biology > Branches of Biology (Brief Idea) In the previous article, we have studied the importance of biology. In this article, we shall study different branches of biology. On the Basis of Kind of Organism: Depending upon the kind of organism, the branches of biology are […]
