Definition of homozygus, heterozygus, genotype, and phenotype
Homozygus: Having two of the same allele
Heterozygus: Having two diffrent allele.
Genotype: The alleles
Phenotype: the visible trait that alleles cause
How did Mendel set up his genetic experiments?
He used pea plants and removed the male parts. He then specifically chose which plants to go together to see if traits where passed down.
What were the generations, what did he always start with, what ratios did he consistently see in the F1 and F2?
In the parental generation he started with a purple and white pea plant. The f1 generation had only purple plant and the f2 generation had 3 purple plants but 1 white plant.
If there is a dominat trait T and a recessive trait s
