1.Gregor Mendel derived the laws governing inheritance from his breeding of peas. Charles Darwin formalized the theory of evolution after observing that many organisms have traits making them uniquely adapted to the environment in which they lived. Briefly describe the relationship between Mendel’s laws and Darwin’s theory. How does each help us understand the other?
2..A true-breeding plant with red seeds is crossed with a true-breeding plant with yellow seeds. Red seeds are dominant; yellow seeds are recessive. In the F1 generation, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes? In the F2, what will they be? Proper genetic nomenclature is required in your answer.
