Color and texture of lean are usually determined by examining the cross section of the loin muscle after a carcass has been "ribbed down", but some indications may be found in other parts of the carcass. While "dark-cutting beef" has the same eating qualities as that of bright color, it is not so attractive to the consumer and is discounted in the trade. Accordingly, it is not accepted for Grade A when the condition is apparent. 3, record 2, English, - dark%2Dcutting%20beef

... Rev. Gregor Mendel(1822-1884)... grew peas, and saw that various traits(size, color, wrinkles) were passed from one generation to the next. Much more importantly, he saw that peas have pairs of some kind of hereditary factor. The pairs do not compromise with each other; either one or the other will be dominant. That is, if you cross a tall pea with a dwarf pea, you get some tall and some dwarf peas, but no peas of medium height. Further, in the first generation of cross-pollinated peas, they will all be tall, and in the next generation there will be three tall pea plants for every one dwarf. 2, record 3, English, - dwarf%20pea
