Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.

12. Some plants need more light than others to survive. Knowing this, explain how the following factors might affect the type of plants that will start the process of secondary succession after an ecological disturbance. Then identify the factor that is probably the most important in determining which species will be the first to repopulate an area after an ecological disturbance. Explain your reasoning. a) the type of ecological disturbance (for example, a forest fire versus a fallen tree) b) the types of seeds left in the soil after the disturbance c) the availability of moisture in the soil d) the availability of nutrients in the soil
