Typical resolution of the BXN set for mapping a Mendelian trait is 1-2 cM.
Conclusions about Mendelian traits that are controlled by a single gene can be drawn from test breedings with large sample sizes.
But perhaps of greater importance has been the discovery of two Mendelian traits.
It is highly suitable as a genetic subject because of its ability to self-pollinate and its easily observed Mendelian traits such as colour, height and petal form.
"Especially about men, who seem to have a Mendelian trait which precludes them from remembering details important to women."
The first genetics, Mendelian genetics, began at 1900, yet inheritance of Mendelian traits was localized to chromosomes by 1903, thus chromosomal genetics.
De Vries was also one of the researchers who made Mendel's work well-known, believing that Mendelian traits corresponded to the transfer of heritable variations along the germline.
We are interested in deciding if the characteristic is inherited as a simple Mendelian trait.
Because this type of trait is influenced by multiple factors, it is more complex and difficult to study than a simple Mendelian trait (one gene for one phenotype).
