inheritance

  • Mendel's experiment tested inheritance through natural processes (self - pollination) and cross breeding (cross pollination) with pea flowers. New generations are called Filia 1, 2, 3, etc. He found that in self pollination (asexual reproduction), an identical copy of the parent was recreated vs cross pollination where the dominant trait (from 2 beings) be
    A) Identical Copies
    B) Dominant trait present
  • The genotype is the allele, or genetic coding. Phenotype is the physical appearance of the organism. These can be seen during inheritance. Eg. The phenotype is brown eyes meaning the genotype is BB because both parents have brown eye colours.
  • The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. It is a complex system that includes many different processes.
  • Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow. Water in different phases moves through the atmosphere (transportation). Liquid water flows across land (runoff), into the ground (infiltration and percolation), and through the ground (groundwater). Groundwater moves into plants (plant uptake) and evaporates from plants into the atmosphere (transpiration). Solid ice and snow can turn directly into gas (sublimation). The opposite can also take place when water vapor becomes solid (deposition).
