The father of modern genetics

A genetic cross involving two traits

Alleles for different traits are distributed to sex cells and offspring independently of one another

The chromosome that codes for female traits

The type of dominance in which there is a blending of two phenotypes in one offspring

The plant that Mendel studied

A genetic cross involving one trait

The three laws of Mendelian genetics

The chromosome that code for male traits

The type of dominance where two phenotypes both show in an offspring or two different alleles being expressed

The find traits Mendel studied in the pea plants

A cross between a pure (homozygous dominant or recessive pairing) and a hybrid from his F2 generation

One of the factors for a pair of inherited traits will be dominant and one will be recessive, unless both factors are recessive

The variant of a gene form

Allele combination of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles

The two terms Mendel coined to explain why some traits are expressed and some are not

Used to help solve genetic problems

The study of heredity

Usually Down syndrome is caused by what genetic problem

Individuals that are homozygous for a trait

One autosomal trait that Mendel studied in peas equivalent to studying the pigment in our skin

List all possible genotypes for the pairing AA and Aa

During the formation of gametes, the two alleles responsible for a trait separate from each other

What is the name of an organisms reproductive cells

The name Mendel gave to what are now known as genes
