The document discusses Charles' law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure is kept constant. It provides examples of calculations using Charles' law to determine the final volume or temperature of a gas under different conditions. Specifically, it shows calculations for finding the final volume of nitrogen gas that is cooled from 373K to 273K while keeping pressure constant, and for determining the temperature at which the volume of a gas expands from 70.0 mL to 90.0 mL at constant pressure. The document thus demonstrates how Charles' law can be used to relate the volume and temperature of a gas.
Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants to study inheritance of traits. He found that traits are inherited in discrete units (genes) and that some traits (dominant) mask the expression of others (recessive). Through his laws of segregation and independent assortment, he showed that genes separate and assort independently during gamete formation. This allows for prediction of phenotypic ratios in offspring using a Punnett square. Mendel's work formed the foundation of classical genetics and heredity.
