| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| HA WAM CG | Hippocrates, Aristotle, William Harvey, Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, Mid 19th century, Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel |
| Hippocrates | -all parts of body produced seeds of each parent fused together |
| Aristotle | -male and female semen mixed upon conception |
| William Harvey | -believed in epigenesis ( embryo developed stages, not pre-formed) |
| Anton Van Leeuwenhoek | -discovered living sperm -thought little man in head of sperm -women's role to incubate little man |
| Mid 19th century | -believed both parents contributed -Blending Theory - characteristics were blended not seperated |
| Charles Darwin | -theorized offspring had variations of parent's characteristics -unable to explain heredity |
| Gregor Mendel | -Austrian monk, gardner, studied math and botany, experiments using pea plants, not recognized until after death |
| Why was Gregor Mendel Successful? ODPA | -chose right organism -designed and performed experiments scientifically -analyzed data properly |
| Why Pea Plants? | -easy to grow, easy to see characteristics, flowers had both female and male reproductive structures, easy to mate, lots of offspring in little time |
| what were the 7 traits and how many options were there? | -seed shape, seed colour, flower colour, pod shape, pad colour, plant height, flower position, 2 options |
| How did he set up experiments? | -make purebred plants to get rid of hidden background characteristics -studied each trait at a time -stamens cut off to prevent self pollenation, took other plant grains to pistil of another = Cross Pollenation |
| Purebred | -descendants from ancestors that share similar traits |
| Mendel's First Experiment | was Plant Height, cross fertilized tall and short plant,First Filial(F1) Generation all tall = 1 dominant trait |
| Principle of Dominance | cross breeding with contrast results will only show dominant trait |
| Mendel's Second Experiment | -hybrid of tall plants from F1 self pollenated -2nd filial (F2) generation, mostly tall but had some short -Mendelian Ratio of experiment 3:1 |
