When human beings reproduce, eggs and sperm are united, and a single cell is formed. This fertilized egg is termed the {Ans: Zygote}(1822-1844) is considered to be the father of modern genetics. He conducted several simple experiments with pea plants that helped reveal the true mechanism of inheritance. Although he published his work in the mid-1800s, it was ignored until the early 1900s, when it was rediscovered. His findings still stand the basis for the principles of genetics accepted by all biologist. {Ans: Gregor Johann Mendel}adaptations {Ans: as descendants of a remote ancestor spread into various habitats over millions and millions of years, they accumulated diverse modifications or _________that fit them to specific ways of life in their environment}Serial Homology {Ans: The correspondence in the same individual of repeated structures having the same origin and development, such as the appendages of arthropods.}Gene {Ans: Consist of DNA, found in the nuclei, a discrete unit of inheritance, grouped to make a molecule, then a strand, then a genome.}-analogous {Ans: }
