Mendel's success & Mendelian ratio (F1 & F2) (1 Viewer)

[callisto]

what did everyone put for this Q? It was pretty straight foward...

 

[SweetSeasons]

hrm, quick life cycle, therfore lots of numbers and self polination therfore less variation in the experiment. I stuffed it up I think.

 

[callisto]

also that he used true breeding lines & carefully recorded information, as well as repeating each experiment several times.

F2

what did everyone talk about for part ii when we had to discuss the f2 generation?

 

[Shuter]

I did self pollonation, and distuigishable characteristics (complete dominace).

 

[SweetSeasons]

I forget. I think I talked about dominance, geno and pheno types. I really forget for that Q.

 

[Bobcat]

yeh i talked about how it self polllinates, and somethingelse that i cant remember

 

[golferjim]

self pollinates- did u have to mention that, i just put that both the parents genotypes had to be Gg to get the F2 results that were obtained

 

[kimmeh]

I thought it was weird for you to describe two things but it was worth three marks

 

[withoutaface]

He documented his work well.
He used easily visible characteristics (height, flower colour etc).

 

[myg0t]

also that he used true breeding lines & carefully recorded information, as well as repeating each experiment several times.

Exactly.

Peas - bred true charachteristics, repeating procedure many times to ensure consistent results.

 

[Jessisbored]

i put:
1. He cross bred plants for two years to ensure they were purely bred for a particular trait (homozygous)
2. Repeated many times for accuracy and reliablity....also ensured measurable traits to work with

 

[Tommy_Lamp]

1) Clearly distinguishable characteristics
2) Used thousands of pea plants

 

[IP_freely]

in each experiment he investigated a limited number of characteristics such as round or wrinkled seed shape so the effects could not be confused

repeated his experiments are large number of times which gave his results statistical verification

 

[peeasoup]

He focused on specific characteristics.....
Peas bred true for the characteristics he studied.
