This is the study of inheritance, or the passing from parents to offspring, of traits.
What is Genetics?
This person is known as the father of genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
In this type of expression, two different alleles for the same trait are both expressed, resulting in a blending of the two traits.
What is Incomplete Dominance?

What is a dominant trait?
Gregor Mendel used this plant to study genetics.

What are 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs?
This is the word used to describe the genetic make-up of the organism, whereas this is the word used to describe how the genetic coding is physically expressed. (Hint: the answer is two vocabulary terms).
What are genotype and phenotype?
This is a diagram used to visualize a genetic cross.
What is a Punnett square?

What is a carrier?
the deliberate breeding of two different individuals to produce offspring that inherit genetic material from both parents.
What is cross?
The F1 generation of Mendel's experiment produced this type of genotype, which resulted in all tall plants.
What is Tt?
Traits such as hair and eyes are thought to be a result of two or more genes coding for a trait, which is this type of inheritance.
What is polygenic?
Males having the genotype XY cause them to receive more of this.

What is purebred?
The F2 Generation of Mendel's experiment resulted is these types of Genotypes.
What is 25% TT, 50% TT, and 25% tt?
A trait like height has two alleles that determine the phenotype; however, a trait like blood type has this that determines its phenotype.
What are Multiple alleles?
