Born in Austria studied pea plants at a monetary
Mendel
Passing if genetic traits from parent to offspring
Genetics
Plants that have both male/female reproductive parts
Self pollinating/asexual
All offspring have same traits as parents
True breeding
Pollen from one fertilize the ovule of a different plant
Cross polination/
Pollen carried by
Bees wind human intervention
A feature that has different forms
Characteristic
Different forms of characteristics
Traits
Traits that appears in first gen
Dominant
Trait that appears in 2nd gen
Recessive
Mendel determined each plant had two sets of
Instructions
Mendels research opened doors to modern day
Genetics
Set if instructions for an inherited trait
Gene
Different forms of genes (letters)
Alleles
Physical appearance
Phenotype
Genetic makeup
Genotype
Gene with 2 dominant or 2 recessive traits
Homozygous
Gene with one dominant and recessive allele
Heterozygous
Organize all possible combinations of offspring
Punett square
Incomplete dominance
2 dominant both traits show
Incomplete dominance
Mix two recessive traits
One gene many traits
One gene influences many traits
Many genes one trait
Many genes code together for one trait
Homologous chromosomes
Same sequence if genes abs same structure
