Mendels peas
Mendels peas. Historical artwork of the peas (Pisum sp.) used by Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) in his experiments into heredity. He cross-bred peas that produced yellow (A) and green (B) peas. This produces a generation in which the peas are yellow (C). This is because the colour of the peas is controlled by an allele in which yellow colour is dominant. An allele is a pair of genes that have different effects on the same characteristic, for instance controlling pea colour. By breeding the C generation peas together, Mendel found that the next generation had a mixture of pea colours (D). The ratio of yellow to green peas was 3:1. His work formed the basis of genetic theory

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical artwork captures the essence of Gregor Mendel's groundbreaking experiments on heredity using peas. In the 19th century, Mendel meticulously cross-bred yellow (A) and green (B) peas to understand how traits are passed down from one generation to another. The resulting generation, represented by the yellow peas (C), revealed that a dominant allele controlled their color. Mendel's dedication led him to breed the C generation peas together, which resulted in a fascinating mix of colors (D). Astonishingly, he discovered that the ratio of yellow to green peas was consistently 3:1. This pivotal finding formed the foundation for genetic theory as we know it today. The vertical composition of this artwork showcases various stages of pea development - from pods to fully grown plants - highlighting Mendel's meticulous selection process. His work not only shed light on inheritance but also introduced concepts like alleles and independent assortment into evolutionary biology. As we admire this illustration, let us appreciate Mendel's significant contributions to science and his pioneering efforts in unraveling the mysteries behind inherited characteristics. This print serves as a reminder of how one man's curiosity can shape an entire field of study and pave the way for future advancements in genetics.
