Study Notes
Genetics
- Pure tall plants (TT) crossed with pure dwarf plants (tt) yield all tall offspring in the F1 generation.
- F1 generation consists entirely of Tt genotype, exhibiting a dominant tall phenotype.
- In the F2 generation, a self-cross of F1 (Tt) results in a phenotypic ratio of 3 tall to 1 dwarf.
- Mendelian inheritance is demonstrated through this 3:1 ratio of tall to small plants in the F2 generation.
Blood
- Blood functions as a specialized connective tissue with four main components:
- Plasma
- Red blood cells (erythrocytes)
- White blood cells (leukocytes)
- Platelets (thrombocytes)
- Key functions of blood include:
- Transporting oxygen and nutrients through blood vessels.
- Facilitating circulation throughout the body.
- Important roles in immune response and clotting.
- Two main circulatory paths are present, although details about these paths are unclear.
