Mendelian Genetics Lab

Mendelian Genetics Lab Background The laws of segregation, independent assortment, and dominance, discovered in the mid 19th century by Gregor Mendel, form the basis of all genetics. The ability to predict the results of crossing experiments and explain any variance between expected and observed results is still a vital part of our understanding of heredity.

How has DNA sequencing affected the science of classifying organisms?

How has DNA sequencing affected the science of classifying organisms? (1 pts) DNA sequencing has allowed for the comparison of genes at the molecular level as opposed to physical traits at the organism level. Physical traits can be misleading when classifying how related two organisms are. DNA sequencing can also trace relatedness through generations and
