Biochemical Anomaly in Flower Extracts of Interspecific Hybrids between Lotus Specoes
Abstract:
Chromatographic analyses of unhydrolyzed flower extracts of two Lotus hybrids and of two individuals from an F(2) population have revealed the presence of a substance which was not present in the extracts of the parental species. This hybrid substance has not been identified, but its occurrence might be explained as the result of gene interaction in heterozygous individuals.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...

Incomplete Dominance
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.
