Mendel

Why is Mendel's work with pea plants so important to people now, over 200 years later?

Mendel's work is very important to people now because it helps them to make new breeds of animals. Like in the beef industry they use the traits to help make the animal the best it is for their enviroment and what it is going to do. If it is a feedlot calf they pick parents that gain weight fast and can best convert feed. People use mendel's work to figure out alot of things in today's world.

It is to show dominettrates. You cen see the changes in the plant taster. It is in porten to us to change thing to help us.

I think his work was very important because it shows us which things are dominant and which things are recessive. It also led to the punnet square so we can se what maybe the genetics of our future people are in the region. The last thing is that it tells us which types of people are hetrozygous and homozygous.

His work is very important because we still use his experiment results to come up with new ways to cross breed plants and animals. People can breed others to make a better generation of plants and animals (like breeding dogs or horses).

All of mednel's work is very important because it allowed us to find out about our traits and genes. His work lets us use punnant squares so then we can map out our genetic info. Also his work shows us whether they are dominant or recescive and even if they are homozygous and heterozygous.

Mendel's experiment with the pea plants helped us to figure out how animals are made up the way they are with genetics. Without Mendel's work, we would not be able to know why animals look the way they look. He showed us that each characteristic came from a certain place. This helps us to cross breed animals as well.

mendel was important because he shows that there are dominant and recessive traits. it just explains why you look like you do. it isnt that important because nobody really cares but it gives people like hix a job. it also helps get the right amount of sleep they need in a day.

His work is still very important to us because it helps us to understand how people get the traits they do. He also showed how dominate traits show all the time and how you need 2 recessive traits for them (the recessive traits) to show. Mendel's experiments with the plants continue to help us learn more about science and biology.

mendel's work is sooo important to people today b/c it explains to us how we got our traits and genes. mendel's experiments have also showed us which traits/genes are dominant or recessive and if they are homozygous or heterozygous.

Mendel's work is important to people now because it helps us understand genetics more. He help with cross breeding animals. Mendel showed discovered about ressesive and dominent traits. It helps us learn about future generations (f1 and f2).
