But do all organisms pass their on genes in the same way as the garden pea plant? The answer to that question is no, but many organisms do indeed show inheritance patterns similar to the seminal ...

What can Gregor Mendel’s pea plants tell us about human disease? Single gene disorders, like Huntington’s disease and cystic fibrosis, actually follow Mendelian inheritance patterns.

The height of pea plants is controlled by a single gene which has two alleles: tall and short. The tall allele is dominant and is shown as T. The small allele is recessive and is shown as t.

Gregor Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments with pea plants, long before the discovery of DNA and genes. Mendel was an Augustinian monk at St Thomas’s Abbey ...

The scientists discovered a gene in pea plants that produced a chemical made peas taste less fresh after they were picked, and then Prof Domoney identified a wild pea plant found in India where ...
