Mentha, also known as mint (from Greek μίνθα míntha, [2] Linear B mi-ta [3]), is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. [4] It is estimated that 13 to 24 species exist, but the exact distinction between species is unclear.
An example of the codominant inheritance of some of the four blood groups. Mendelian traits in humans are human traits that are substantially influenced by Mendelian inheritance . Most – if not all – Mendelian traits are also influenced by other genes, the environment, immune responses, and chance.
Mentha pulegium, commonly (European) pennyroyal, or pennyrile, also called mosquito plant [2] and pudding grass, [3] is a species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae, native to Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. [4] Crushed pennyroyal leaves emit a very strong fragrance similar to spearmint.
Mentha. Genera See text Mentheae is the largest tribe of plants in the family Lamiaceae. [1] [2] It includes herbs such as sage, hyssop, mint, bee balm and thyme.
Mendelian traits behave according to the model of monogenic or simple gene inheritance in which one gene corresponds to one trait. Discrete traits (as opposed to continuously varying traits such as height) with simple Mendelian inheritance patterns are relatively rare in nature, and many of the clearest examples in humans cause disorders.
Pineapple mint (Mentha suaveolens 'Variegata') is a cultivar of apple mint that has leaves which are banded with white. A hybrid derived from it is grapefruit mint (Mentha suaveolens × piperata). Apple mint has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years in many parts of the world, including Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Mentha arvensis, the corn mint, field mint, or wild mint, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae. It has a circumboreal distribution, being native to the temperate regions of Europe and western and central Asia , east to the Himalaya and eastern Siberia , and North America .
The human genome is the total collection of genes in a human being contained in the human chromosome, composed of over three billion nucleotides. [2] In April 2003, the Human Genome Project was able to sequence all the DNA in the human genome, and to discover that the human genome was composed of around 20,000 protein coding genes.
