The following project applies the STEAMS (Science, Technology, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics, Statistics) technique in order to demonstrate Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance. Developed by Gregor Mendel who used garden peas (Technology and Applications) for experimentation, the three inheritance laws (Biology) include the law of segregation, the law of independent assortment, and the law of dominance. The 1st law of segregation states that each gamete receives one random allele from each parent; the 2nd law of independent assortment states that the allele(s) received do not influence each other. The 3rd law of dominance concludes that in two alleles of a heterozygote, the dominant trait will hide the recessive trait; in the second generation, the ratio between dominant : recessive traits displayed is 1:3. The statistical null and alternative hypotheses will address whether the collected research data (from JMP) demonstrates Mendel’s Laws. Modern JMP Data Mining techniques were adopted to statistically detect relevant patterns among the three laws. The mathematics used in the project is mainly accredited to matrices, which helped cluster the patterns. 2-Proportion tests were executed to draw the statistical confidence of rejecting the Null Hypothesis (follows the Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance).
