1. Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who performed experiments with garden peas and established the basic principles of genetics through his work.
2. Mendel showed that traits are passed from parents to offspring according to dominant and recessive alleles, and predicted inheritance patterns through experiments and statistical analysis.
3. Key terms and concepts that emerged from Mendel's work include genes, alleles, genotypes, phenotypes, monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, dominance, segregation, independent assortment, and his laws of inheritance. Mendel's findings formed the foundation of classical and modern genetics.

The American black duck population has been declining since the 1940s and their numbers are carefully monitored. They were heavily hunted in the 1960s-1970s, with 800,000 birds killed annually, but hunting has been limited and the annual harvest has decreased to around 115,000 birds. Black ducks face threats including habitat loss, lead poisoning, and hybridization and competition with mallards. Conservation efforts including establishing national wildlife refuges and programs that use hunting stamp funds to purchase wetland habitats have helped black duck and other waterfowl populations.
Western lowland gorillas by isaiah fippskjones9999
Western lowland gorillas live in troops of up to 30 individuals in the rainforests of Central Africa. Each troop is led by a dominant silverback male who organizes the group's activities as they travel within their home range. Female gorillas give birth to one infant after a 9 month pregnancy and carry their young on their backs for the first few years. Gorillas communicate through displays of strength from the silverback and generally avoid conflict unless disturbed. They eat a variety of plant parts and fruits found in their native habitat.
