Mendel, Monohybrids, and Meiosis, Oh My

One reason for Mendel's success with genetic studies of peas was that he

• used only hybrid pea plants
• used peas with large chromosomes
• studied large numbers of offspring
• discovered the sources of variation in peas

Pairs of genes that control the same trait are known as

• allelles
• gametes
• hybrids
• loci
