What is the dominant trait in pea plants?

Back

Yellow pea seeds are the dominant trait.

Front

What does a homozygous dominant allele look like?

Back

A homozygous dominant allele is represented as 'AA'.

Front

What type of plants did Gregor Mendel experiment with?

Back

True.

Front

What does a homozygous recessive allele look like?

Back

A homozygous recessive allele is represented as 'ff'.

Front

What is a Punnett Square used for?

Back

A Punnett Square is used to predict the genetic outcomes of a cross between two organisms.

Front

Define genotype.

Back

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, represented by alleles.

Front

Define phenotype.

Back

Phenotype refers to the observable characteristics or traits of an organism.

Front

What is the difference between dominant and recessive alleles?

Back

Dominant alleles express their trait even when only one copy is present, while recessive alleles require two copies to express their trait.

Front

What is the purpose of Mendel's experiments?

Back

Mendel's experiments aimed to understand inheritance patterns in traits.
