In this experiment we are investigating the strength of the ratios discovered by Gregor Mendel in both the monohybrid and dihybrid cross. The ability to test these ratios stems from…

There can be two definitions for the heredity: 1. The genetic transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring. 2. The sum of characteristics and associated potentialities transmitted genetically to an…
