• P

• Allele

How did Gregor Mendel cross-pollinate plants?

• He used only one plant and spread pollen on the same plant.
• He used two plants and spread pollen from one flower to another.
• He used two plants and got their pollen and spread the flowers pollen on itself.
• He didn't figure out how to cross pollinate.

Gametes are also known as

• genes
• sex cells
• alleles
• hybrids

In Mendel's pea experiments, the male gametes are the

• eggs

• seeds

• pollen

• sperm

If a particular form of a trait is always present when the allele controlling it is present, then the allele must be

• mixed
• recessive
• hybrid 
• dominant

Mendel was able to produce seeds that had two different parents using

• self pollination
• cross pollination
• true breeding
• music and candlelight

What do we call the result of the genotype (for example, the color of the peas)?

• Visible traits

• Genotype 2
• Phenotype

What do we call the table used to calculate the probability of an offspring's genotype?

• Punnett square
• Venn diagram
• Golden ratio
• Fibonacci sequence
