Gregor Mendel

2. A specific characteristic of an organism, such as height, shape, or color.
4. The process by which traits are passed from parents to offspring.
8. The type of plant Mendel used for his experiments due to its ability to grow quickly, self-pollinate, and have many variations.
9. The new plants produced from reproduction in Mendel’s experiments.
10. A plant that contains both male and female reproductive structures, allowing it to fertilize itself.
13. A sperm from the pollen travels through the stigma and enters the egg in an ovule.

1. A plant that will always produce offspring with the same trait as the parent plant.
3. The anthers of one plant are removed to prevent self-pollination, and pollen from another plant is used to fertilize it.
5. Differences in traits among individual plants.
6. The place where Gregor Mendel worked and conducted his experiments.
7. The offspring of two plants that have different forms of a single trait.
8. The process where pollen from the anthers (male) is transferred to the stigma (female).
11. The two forms of a gene that determine variations in a characteristic.
12. The scientist known as the "Father of Genetics," who studied inheritance using pea plants.
