Law of Dominance (the "Third Law") Mendelian inheritance at Augustinian Schola Osloensis -- Oslo katedralskole (Oslo Cathedral School) was founded in 1153 by papal delegate Cardinal Nicholas Breakspeare (Augustinian Pope Adrian IV), and administered by the Cathedral of Saint Hallvard.[3] From its foundation and until the 18th century the school was primarily a school for educating priests. Thus, the school's teaching traditions was from the start that of the Roman Catholic Church. As with most of Europe at the time, lessons were based on an educational curriculum known as the Liberal arts. This curriculum consisted of seven different subjects the students were required to learn, and they were ordered in two groups: Trivium and Quadrivium. The Trivium (Latin for three ways) comprising the three subjects that were taught first, grammar, logic, and rhetoric. After Trivium followed the Quadrivium (Latin for four ways), being geometry, arithmetic, music, and astronomy. The language used was Latin and remained so until the 18th century. Unlike most other Norwegian state schools, Latin is still being taught at the school today.

Adrian IV is the only Englishman to have occupied the papal throne.[1][2] It is generally believed that he was born in Bedmond[3][4] in the parish of Abbots Langley in Hertfordshire and received his early education at the Abbey School, St Albans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Adrian_IV Canonical Augustinian popes Pope Adrian IV Pope Eugene IV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Canonical_Augustinian_popes The term Augustinians, named after Saint Augustine of Hippo (354–430), applies to two separate types of Catholic religious orders, and to some Anglican religious orders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustinians Gregor Johann Mendel (20 July 1822[1] – 6 January 1884) was a German-speaking Moravian[2] scientist and Augustinian friar who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the modern science of genetics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregor_Mendel Mendelian inheritance is inheritance of biological features that follows the laws proposed by Gregor Johann Mendel in 1865 and 1866 and re-discovered in 1900. It was initially very controversial. When Mendel's theories were integrated with the chromosome theory of inheritance by Thomas Hunt Morgan in 1915, they became the core of classical genetics. Law of Dominance (the "Third Law") Mendel's Law of Dominance states that recessive alleles will always be masked by dominant alleles. Therefore, a cross between a homozygous dominant and a homozygous recessive will always express the dominant phenotype, while still having a heterozygous genotype. Law of Dominance can be explained easily with the help of a mono hybrid cross experiment:- In a cross between two organisms pure for any pair (or pairs) of contrasting traits (characters), the character that appears in the F1 generation is called "dominant" and the one which is suppressed (not expressed) is called "recessive." Each character is controlled by a pair of dissimilar factors. Only one of the characters expresses. The one which expresses in the F1 generation is called Dominant. It is important to note however, that the law of dominance is significant and true but is not universally applicable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendelian_inheritance Fine Di Una Vita(II Versione) Francesco De Masi
