Document Summary
How does that differ from mutagens: teratogens are anything that affects the developmental growth of an embryo or a fetus, whereas mutagens affect the dna speci cally. What are some known teratogens: alcohol, drugs, cigarettes. Who was gregor mendel: an austrian monk who rst researched the units of inheritance. How does that compare to some other folks we"ve talked about in this class: he compared his experiment from 1857 to 1863. What did mendel experiment on: mendel experimented on pea plants. What were the advantages of using peas: categorically de ned traits, easy selective breeding, fast generation time, large sample sizes. Why was using a self-pollinated plant important: allowed mendel to control exactly which traits were breaded with which traits. What do p1, f1 and f2 mean: parents, rst lial, second lial generations respectively. What does true breeding mean: true breeding means that a certain genotype always results. The parents and offspring are always homozygous for a certain trait.
