Gregor Johan Mendel, the Father of Genetics, used Pisum sativum (garden pea) as the study material for his hybridization experiments. He studied the inheritance pattern of seven pairs of contrasting characters in Pisum sativum for deriving his conclusions. A combination of luck, scientific aptitude, foresight, mathematical background and most importantly […]

Mendelian Genetics: Monohybrid Inheritance (Example: Plant Height in Pisum sativum)
Monohybrid Cross Monohybrid cross is a type of hybridization experiment which involves the study of the inheritance of one pair of contrasting character. The alleles of contrasting characters selected in the monohybrid cross will show exact Dominance and Recessive relationships. In Mendel’s classical experiment, he studied seven pairs of contrasting […]
