Best Answer

Pea plants. Specifically, Pisum savitum . Although Mendel never SPECIFICALLY stated why he chose this species to do his tests, it does has several advantages for the experiments he wanted to do:

1) It has several traits that are easy to identify.

2) Seven of these traits are independent of each other. We now know that many genetic traits of DNA life-forms are inter-linked, such that breeding two plants with one type of trait difference results in differences in other traits.

3) It's easy to breed peas with different traits amongst each other.

4) It produces offspring rapidly.

What is the best way to discern patterns and rhythms in footage of people moving?

I would first decide on types of movements you want to study. Look for those patterns first. Then, look for how people navigate around obstacles and other people and note those patterns. Lastly, look for unusual patterns too.


What problems are faced by taxonomist who rely on body-structure comparisons?

Convergent evolution can lead to quite different organisms evolving similar body structures. This makes it difficult for taxonomists to decide how the organisms should be classified.

Finally he manages to escape, but the boss is gone by then. His family sees him and is disgusted. They lock him in his room and his dad forbids his mother and sister from seeing him. His sister secretly sneaks him food, but even she becomes disgusted with him after a while. The rest of his family realizes they are all able to work and get jobs. They all ignore Gregor. At one point Gregor is able to escape from his room, but there are tenants in the house. His dad becomes outraged, beats him and throws an apple at him that gets stuck in his back. Gregor gives up, stops eating and eventually dies. The maid finds his corps in his room one day and alerts the family. They are apathetic toward his death and decide to move and start afresh together. ---- pretty depressing if I do say so myself


Is it easy to make quilting patterns?
