Does the Mendelian Ratio Really Work?

CSEF · 2013 Zoology

Anhyo Jeong · Goleta Valley Junior High School, Goleta, Santa Barbara County

Overview

Objectives/Goals I wanted to see if The Mendelian ratio really worked. Methods/Materials I used C. elegans as my test subject. First I get male and hermaphrodite C. elegans that have been mutated. I mated them and picked four hermaphrodite offsprings and made them self fertilize. After that I took the self fertilized eggs and looked for the mutated genes that the very first generation had. Results I was able to conclude that the Mendelian ratio really worked. Conclusions/Discussion I proved that the Mendelian ratio worked and that I can tell if a mutation was a dominant one or a recessive one by doing this experiment.

Summary statement

My project is about the Mendelian ratio.
