Chapter 84 Hybrid Experiment in Herbal Medicine Class
Trelawney made a prophecy about her own death... This news quickly spread throughout Hogwarts after class.
She used to decide the life and death of others, but this time it was her turn. I have to say that she was indeed very fair.
But her fans and haters were silent.
Of course, fans firmly believe that Professor Trelawney has powerful prophecy abilities, but doesn’t this mean that she is going to die?
The anti-fans...especially the students whose death she predicted would really like Trelawney to die, but if the prophecy comes true, wouldn't it prove that she is not a liar?
For a time, the two major forces were entangled, wondering whether they should expect the prophecy to come true.
However, compared to Trelawny's illusory death prophecy, Gryffindor and Slytherin almost died in their Care of Magical Creatures class.
On the way to the Herbology class, the little badgers heard the Gryffindor students coming back from the paddock saying... Malfoy was injured.
After careful inquiry, I found out that something went wrong in Hagrid's class. A Hippogriff gave Malfoy a hard bite.
The Gryffindor students described it vividly one by one. It seemed that Malfoy was about to die and was now ready to eat.
Standing at the door of the greenhouse, Hermione explained softly: "It's not that serious. Malfoy just injured his hand and was immediately sent to the school hospital."
The girl described what happened in detail and finally said:
"It's all Malfoy's fault anyway. Hagrid said that if you insult a Hippogriff, it will attack. But Malfoy didn't listen and even insulted them in front of them."
"Malfoy's father will definitely not care about this..." Neville said with worry on his face: "Do you think the school will expel Hagrid?"
"That's not the case." Rolf shook his head and said, "Malfoy is no longer the school director and has no power to interfere with the school's teachers. As long as Dumbledore is here, Hagrid will not be fired.
Besides, it’s just a teaching accident, so it won’t lead to expulsion.”
If a teaching accident occurs and a student is injured, he will be expelled... Then the first person to be expelled will be Snape.
In his class, students were often injured by burning and exploding crucibles, and he also used cold violence in various ways, but he was not doing well.
Mrs. Huo Qi also had to be expelled. How many students were not injured in her flying class in any year?
"But although Hagrid will not be fired..." Rolf reminded: "But the Hippogriff is in danger."
In the original time and space, Malfoy brought this matter to the Ministry of Magic, and finally sentenced the Hippogriff to death.
Just then, Professor Sprout strode across the lawn, carrying a bunch of keys and shouting:
"Okay, come here, kids...it's still the third greenhouse today!"
Rolf, Hermione and Neville ended their conversation and followed Sprout towards the greenhouse.
They followed the road, passed through a row of tall fungi, and finally arrived at an unfamiliar area.
A large number of peas are planted here, and they are well-proportioned, with some tall plants, some short plants, and some medium-tall plants.
The peas also have flowers that look like butterfly wings, and the colors of those flowers are also divided into red, purple and pink.
Those peas look beautiful, but they haven't produced pods yet.
"Does anyone know what this is?" asked Professor Sprout.
Hermione still wanted to talk about the Care of Magical Creatures class, but she couldn't care less about it now. She quickly raised her hand and said: "Bubble Pea."
"That's right, Miss Granger...two points for Gryffindor." Sprout pointed at the group of peas and introduced:
"This is bubble pea, a very magical magical plant...their beans will bloom directly after touching a solid object, and the flowers can be used to treat coughs."
"Now, who can tell me... which of these three colors of peas has the best medicinal effect?"
Hermione raised her hand again, "Pink peas are the most effective. According to the research of the famous botanist Mr. Carloji, at the same dose, they are 1.5 times that of red peas and 1.5 times that of purple peas."
double."
"Exactly, five points more for Gryffindor." Professor Sprout asked: "Miss Granger, do you know why the same kind of peas bloom with flowers of three different colors?"
This question was not in the book, and Hermione was speechless for a moment.
Professor Sprout looked around, but no one raised their hand to answer. Even Neville, who had learned the best in herbal medicine class, looked at a loss.
Hermione glanced at Rolf beside her and asked in a low voice: "Do you know?"
Rolf nodded, Hermione narrowed her eyes, raised her elbow abruptly, and held up the boy's arm.
"Mr. Scamander?"
Rolf rolled his eyes at Hermione who pursed her lips and smiled evilly, and replied:
"The red flowers of peas are a dominant trait, and the purple flowers are a recessive trait. After they are crossed, pink peas will appear in the offspring...
This phenomenon of different traits appearing in hybrid offspring is called trait segregation."
"Very good." Professor Sprout was a little surprised. She asked curiously: "Mr. Scamander, have you read Muggle Mendel's paper "Experiments on Plant Hybridization"?"
"No, professor, but I have read relevant books." Luo Fe explained.
He has never read Mendel's paper, but he has taken high school biology and is still very familiar with this kind of thing.
"Fifteen points for Hufflepuff." Professor Sprout said in admiration: "I have to say, it is really amazing that you can have such a reading capacity at your age."
Professor Sprout took a small blackboard and explained Mendel's pea hybridization experiment, but the little wizards looked confused.
Many students looked at Luo Fu again, not expecting that he even knew such obscure knowledge. This was too exaggerated.
There are also students who regret not choosing Muggle Studies.
However, Muggle studies obviously cannot have this kind of knowledge. What they lack is... nine years of compulsory education.
Hermione was taking notes while listening to Professor Sprout's explanation. She had no biological foundation and was a little confused when she suddenly came into contact with some proper nouns.
"Rolf, what does this part mean?"
After Rolf explained to Hermione, he asked: "Do you understand?"
"Absolutely." Hermione nodded.
"Then I will give you a simple advanced question to help you further deepen your understanding."
Luofu picked up the quill and wrote hastily on the parchment:
"The cross of yellow round peas and green wrinkled peas produces f1, f1 self-crosses to get f, and all the green round peas in f self-cross to get f3. Find the proportion of green round peas in f3 that can be stably inherited."
"..."
"Think about it slowly." Luo Fu smiled and said: "Think about it, I still have questions about fruit flies, male and female red-blue blindness and the inheritance of albinism."
