    F1 Generation... RR×WW W W R RW RW R RW RW

    This document contains two examples related to genetics. The first example shows that crossing red and white shorthorn cattle results in a roan coat color in the F1 generation, and a mix of red, white, and roan coats in the F2 generation. The second example discusses the three blood groups in humans - A, B, and O - which are controlled by multiple alleles. The A and B alleles are co-dominant and dominant over the O allele. The document also explains that Mendel's work on genetics went unrecognized because he lacked scientific reputation, presented his findings to a small group, his work differed from previous research, and it was published in an obscure journal.

    groups
    There are three blood groups in humans A,
    B and O. This is an example of multiple alleles where
    there are more than two alleles for a particular
    characteristic.
    There are three alleles that control the
    production of an antigen on the surface of red blood
    cells.
    A blood group produces A antigens, B blood
    group produces B antigens and O blood group doesnt
    produce any antigens.

    Alleles A and B are co-dominant. They are


    also both dominant over allele o.
    WhyMendelsworkwasnotrecognised:
    He had no established reputation or
    recognition in the broader scientific world because he
    had not done any prior scientific research and had no
    interaction with other well known scientists.
    He presented his paper about his findings to
    a very small group of scientists.
    His work differed quite radically from
    previous research and scientists to whom he
    presented may not have understood his work or
    considered it irrelevant.
    The significance of his work was
    unrecognised as not enough was known about
    genetics at that time.
    His work was published in an obscure (not
    popular) journal and therefore not many biologists
    accepted it.
