Re: How do I change the y-axis on an Excel chart from numbers towords. This will plot everything as zero values, since they are all text. You can fake it using one of these approaches: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Y_CategoryAxis.html. http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/DotPlot.html. - Jon.
First you must keep in mind that all ears of corn have an even number of rows, never an odd number. All average ears have between 12 and 20 rows. Still, it's difficult to tell at a glance whether an ear has 14, 16, 18, or 20 rows.
For an ear of corn, each kernel represents a separate outcome from the cross between the parents. Each kernel therefore has its own genotype and phenotype. Two elements that contribute to kernel color include the aleurone layer and the endosperm. The aleurone layer is located just inside the outer pericarp layer.The endosperm, a source of nutrition for the developing seedling, is located below the aleurone layer.Endosperm color can be masked by aleurone color since the aleurone layer covers the endosperm.Several genes are involved in determining kernel color and the effects of their alleles are outlined in the table below.For your analysis: Obtain an F2 ear of corn and use adhesive dots to mark the boundaries of a section containing 10 rows. A row is oriented from tip to tip of the ear, in the longer direction.everal genes are involved in determining kernel color and the effects of their alleles are outlined in the table below.
