Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants in the 1850s to discover the fundamental laws of inheritance. Through monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, he demonstrated that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units (now known as genes) and developed the laws of segregation, independent assortment and dominance. His work established the foundations of classical genetics.
Discuss the methods Mendel utilized in his research that led to his success in understanding the process of inheritance
The science community ignored the paper, possibly because it was ahead of the ideas of heredity and variation accepted at the time. In the early 1900s, 3 plant biologists finally acknowledged Mendel’s work. Unfortunately, Mendel was not around to receive the recognition as he had died in 1884.
Genetics- Chapter 5 - Principles of inheritance and variation.docxAjay Kumar Gautam
Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. Though heredity had been observed for millennia, Gregor Mendel, Moravian scientist and Augustinian friar working in the 19th century in Brno, was the first to study genetics scientifically. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring over time. He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit traits by way of discrete "units of inheritance". This term, still used today, is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a gene.

During gamete production, each egg and sperm cell receives just one of the two gene copies present in the organism, and the copy allocated to each gamete is random (law of segregation). In the law of dominance, an offspring receives a pair of alleles for a trait by inheriting homologous chromosomes from the parent organisms; one allele for each trait from each parent. Each parent contributes a single gamete, and a single randomly successful allele copy to their offspring and fertilization. Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. Gregor Mendel
Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental
laws of inheritance.
Gregor Mendel was a botanist, teacher, and Augustinian priest, the first person
to lay the mathematical foundation of the science of genetics, in what came to
be called Mendelism.
Mendel chose to conduct his studies with the edible pea (Pisum sativum).
3. He was born in 1822, and at 21, he joined a monastery in Brünn (now in the
Czech Republic).
The monastery had a botanical garden and library and was a centre for science,
religion and culture.
In 1856, Mendel began a series of experiments at the monastery to find out
how traits are passed from generation to generation.
From 1854 to 1856, he tested 34 varieties for constancy of their traits.
4.
5. Genetic Terminology
Trait ; A trait, as related to genetics, is a specific characteristic of an
individual. Traits can be determined by genes, environmental factors or by a
combination of both. Traits can be qualitative (such as eye color) or
quantitative (such as height or blood pressure).
Monohybrid cross; A monohybrid cross is defined as the cross happening in
the F1 generation offspring of parents differing in one trait only.
Dihybrid cross; A dihybrid cross is a cross of F1 generation offsprings,
differing in two traits.
6. Allele; An allele is one of two or more versions of DNA sequence (a single
base or a segment of bases) at a given genomic location.
Genotype; The genetic constitution of an individual organism.
Phenotype; Phenotype refers to an individual's observable traits, such as
height, eye color and blood type. A person's phenotype is determined by both
their genomic makeup (genotype) and environmental factors.
Homozygous; having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes.
Heterozygous; having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes.
Genotype RR Rr rr
Phenotype Red Red yellow
7. Punnett Square
The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a
particular cross or breeding experiment.
8. Why Pea?
He chose peas because they had been used for similar studies, are easy to grow
and can be sown each year.
Pea flowers contain both male and female parts, called stamen and stigma, and
usually self-pollinate.
Self-pollination happens before the flowers open, so progeny are produced
from a single plant.
Pea plant has shortest life cycle.
9. Mendel’s Experiment Method
Mendel was interested in the offspring of two different parent plants, so he had
to prevent self-pollination.
He removed the anthers from the flowers of some of the plants in his
experiments.
Then he pollinated them with pollen from other parent plants of his choice.
10. Mendel’s Law of Dominance
Mendel's law of dominance states that: “When parents with pure,
contrasting traits are crossed together, only one form of trait appears in
the next generation.
The hybrid offspring's will exhibit only the dominant trait in the phenotype.
Law of dominance is known as the first law of inheritance.
11.
12. Mendel’s Law of Segregation
The law of segregation states that each individual that is a diploid has a pair
of alleles (copy) for a particular trait. Each parent passes an allele at random
to their offspring resulting in a diploid organism. The allele that contains the
dominant trait determines the phenotype of the offspring.
13. Monohybrid Cross
The cross between two monohybrid traits (TT and tt) is called a Monohybrid
Cross. Monohybrid cross is responsible for the inheritance of one gene.
14. Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment
Mendel's law of independent assortment states that the alleles of two (or
more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one
another. In other words, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not
influence the allele received for another gene.
15. Dihybrid Cross
A dihybrid cross describes a
mating experiment between
two organisms that are
identically hybrid for two traits.
A hybrid organism is one that is
heterozygous, which means
that is carries two different alleles
at a particular genetic position, or locus.
16. Test Cross
The test cross is another fundamental tool devised by Gregor Mendel.
In its simplest form, a test cross is an experimental cross of an individual
organism of dominant phenotype but unknown genotype and an organism with
a homozygous recessive genotype (and phenotype).
A test cross is an experiment that is used to find out the genotype of a dominant
plant of the F2 generation.
It is performed by crossing the dominant offspring with the homozygous
recessive parent. A tall plant (unknown genotype) is crossed with a dwarf plant
(known genotype).
17.
18. Back Cross
The mating of a hybrid organism (offspring of genetically unlike parents) with
one of its parents or with an organism genetically similar to the parent.
The backcross is useful in genetics studies for isolating (separating out) certain
characteristics in a related group of animals or plants.
The purpose of a backcross is to recover elite genotypes and to produce
offspring that are genetically similar or closer to parents.
19. Complete Dominance
Complete dominance is a form of dominance wherein the dominant allele
completely masks the effect of the recessive allele in heterozygous
conditions. A gene (or allele) shows dominance when it suppresses the
expression — or dominates the effects — of the recessive gene (or allele).
An example of a simple phenotype, is flower color in Mendel's peas. One
allele as a homozygote produces purple flowers, while the other allele as a
homozygote produces white flowers.
20. Incomplete Dominance
Incomplete dominance is a form of Gene interaction in which both alleles of a
gene at a locus are partially expressed, often resulting in an intermediate or
different phenotype. It is also known as partial dominance.
21. Codominance
Codominance, as it relates to genetics, refers to a type of inheritance in which
two versions (alleles) of the same gene are expressed separately to yield
different traits in an individual.
