DAVID M. NUNAMAKER. The term osteomyelitis by definition implies inflammation of the bone and its marrow contents regardless of the cause. The purpose of this chapter is to describe osteomyelitis caused by known infectious agents. The two major classifications are bacterial osteomyelitis and fungal osteomyelitis. BACTERIAL OSTEOMYELITIS. The study of bacterial osteomyelitis includes two distinct clinical forms of the disease.
Mendel used seven pea plant traits in his experiments which include flower color (purple or white), flower position (axil or terminal), stem length (long or short), seed shape (round or wrinkled), seed color (yellow or green), pod shape (inflated or constricted), and pod color (yellow or green).
As Mendel stated in his Law of Segregation, each organism has two genes for each trait. The different forms of a gene are called alleles. If both alleles are are identical, the organism is said to be homozygous for that trait.For instance, Mendel's purebred tall plants possessed two tall alleles and are said to be homozygous tall.f the two alleles are different, the plant is said to be a hybrid or heterozygous for that trait. As Mendel noted, when both alleles are present, one allele masks or hides the other.
