Essays on Blood Type

Gregor Mendel's studies laid the foundation for modern genetics. In a series of elegant experiments, Mendel was able to deduce the most fundamental laws of single-gene and multiple-gene inheritance without having the scientific data on chromosomes, their structure, or meiotic segregation. In this lab, you will learn about and apply examples for 3 different patterns of human inheritance of traits.

Punnett Square is a tool used to theoretically predict genotypes of the progeny from the genotypes of parents as a result of sexual reproduction. Genes from parental gametes are written as rows and columns of the Punnett Square. All ...
