If Darwin knew of Mendel's work, how might it have influenced his theory of evolution? Do you think this would have affected how well Darwin's work was accepted?

See explanation

Explanation:

According to Darwin, the determinant of the ability of species to thrive in their environment is their ability to develop favourable characteristics which enable them to survive in their environment. This ability to develop favourable characteristics is called natural selection.

These favourable characteristics are passed on from parents to offsprings and are responsible for the perpetuation of organisms having these favourable characteristics in comparison to other members of the same species.

In relation to Mendel's theory, these favourable characteristics could be regarded as Mendel's factors (currently identified as genes). These factors are units of inheritance passed on from parents to offsprings.

If Darwin had an idea of Mendel's work when he propounded his evolution theory, he could have modified his idea of favourable characteristics to imply genes. This would have made his idea more empirical than speculative and led to a faster world wide acceptance of his ideas.

explanation:

answers are:

lysogenic     viral dna merges with host cell dna

lysogenic     no symptoms

lytic               viral dna takes over

lysogenic     virus does not destroy host cell

lytic               virus destroys host cell

lytic               induces symptoms of viral infection

lysogenic       cell reproduces and spreads provirus
