Mendel and Genetics

The offspring of crosses between parents with different traits are called

• alleles
• hybrids
• gametes
• dominant

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

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

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

Different forms of genes:

• alleles
• phenotype
• genotype
• homologous chromosomes

Why did Mendel choose to self breeding?

• So that the offspring would be different from the parent

• So that the offspring will be identical to the parents

• He didn't do that he did cross pollination

• So that he could verify their genetics
