Which of the following is a method of vertical gene transmission according to Mendel's experiments?
A
Inheritance from parent to offspring
B
Gene mutation
C
Gene transfer between different species
D
Horizontal gene transfer
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of vertical gene transmission: Vertical gene transmission refers to the passing of genetic material from parent to offspring during reproduction.
Review Mendel's experiments: Mendel's work focused on inheritance patterns in pea plants, demonstrating how traits are passed from one generation to the next through genes.
Identify the correct method of vertical gene transmission: In Mendel's experiments, the method of vertical gene transmission is the inheritance of traits from parent to offspring.
Differentiate between vertical and horizontal gene transmission: Horizontal gene transfer involves the transfer of genes between different species, which is not part of Mendel's experiments.
Recognize that gene mutation is not a method of transmission: Gene mutation refers to changes in the DNA sequence, which can occur spontaneously but is not a method of transmitting genes from parent to offspring.
