- Genetics: the scientific study of heredity

- Fertilization: process in sexual reproduction where male and female reproductive cells join to produce a new cell

- Self-Pollinating: their sperm cells fertilize egg cells from within the same flower

- Traits: a specific characteristic of an individual (color, height) that can vary from one individual to another

- Hybrids: the offspring of crosses between parents with different traits

- P1 Generation: the original pair of plants

- F1 Generation: their first offspring

- Alleles: the different forms of a gene

- Principle of Dominance: some alleles are dominant and others recessive]]> 2022-05-16 12:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/2024lewise/vyyvingdfp5guvsp/wish/2185631269 2024lewise https://padlet.com/2024lewise/vyyvingdfp5guvsp/wish/2187495217

How did allowing F1 generation plants to self-pollinate to produce the F2 generation allow Mendel to reach his conclusions about inheritance?: By allowing them to self-pollinate, the plants were able to bring back the recessive short allele, showing that they don’t get destroyed, they just get overpowered by the dominant tall plant allele and two copies of the short plant allele are needed for it to show. 

During which phase of meiosis do new allele combinations form? Prophase I during crossing 

True or false: "Linked genes are on the same chromosome" - True

Gene maps are based on the frequency of what?: Crossing-over
