What did Mendel call the two kinds of traits exhibited by the pea plants (one coming from the father, one from the mother)?

• Genesis
• Elective traits
• Alleles
• Quadrants

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

• Visible traits
• Physiotrait
• 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

What is cross pollination?

• When pollen from a flower fertilizes itself or another flower on the same plant
• When pollen from one flower fertilizes a flower on a different plant
• A plant whose offspring share the same traits as the parent
• A plant whose offspring is genetically different from the parent.

What is true-breeding?

• When pollen from a flower fertilizes itself or another flower on the same plant
• When pollen from one flower fertilizes a flower on a different plant
• A plant whose offspring share the same traits as the parent
• A plant whose offspring is genetically different from the parent.

What did Gregor Mendel do in his first experiment?

• Self-Pollinated two pea plants
• Self-Pollinated two true-breeding pea plants
• Cross-pollinated two pea plants
• Cross pollinated two true-breeding pea plants

If Mendel's first experiment involved cross-pollinated a true-breeding round pea plant and a true-breeding wrinkled pea plant, what would the genotypes of the parents have to be?

• RR x Rr
• Rr x Rr
• rr x rr
• RR x rr
