The knowledge-grow

Hey🤙 The first thing i noticed this week was a very strong smell. The plant is so small but smells like a big girl. She is doing fine but has a few red spots on her leaves. 24 hours of light might stress her a little. Next week i reduce the light to 20 hours. I have to repod her but had no time. I think in one week we will see her preflower. The Knowledge Grow! Every week i'm going to add 1 interesting fact about plants, growing, or scientists that helped us to understand the flora. Mendelian inheritance Gregor Mendel, the Moravian Augustinian monk who founded the modern science of genetics. Mendelian inheritance is a type of biological inheritance that follows the principles originally proposed by Gregor Mendel in 1865 and 1866, re-discovered in 1900 and popularised by William Bateson.These principles were initially controversial. When Mendel's theories were integrated with the Boveri–Sutton chromosome theory of inheritance by Thomas Hunt Morgan in 1915, they became the core of classical genetics. Ronald Fisher combined these ideas with the theory of natural selection in his 1930 book The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection, putting evolution onto a mathematical footing and forming the basis for population genetics within the modern evolutionary synthesis. Five parts of Mendel's discoveries were an important divergence from the common theories at the time and were the prerequisite for the establishment of his rules. Characters are unitary. That is, they are discrete (purple vs. white, tall vs. dwarf). Genetic characteristics have alternate forms, each inherited from one of two parents. Today, we call these alleles. One allele is dominant over the other. The phenotype reflects the dominant allele. Gametes are created by random segregation. Heterozygotic individuals produce gametes with an equal frequency of the two alleles. Different traits have independent assortment. In modern terms, genes are unlinked. According to customary terminology we refer here to the principles of inheritance discovered by Gregor Mendel as Mendelian laws, although today's geneticists also speak of Mendelian rules or Mendelian principles,as there are many exceptions summarized under the collective term Non-Mendelian inheritance.
