  3. 6. states that different pairs of genes are passed on to offspring seperately forming new genetic formations
  4. 8. individuals that have two of the same allele for a given gene
  5. 9. individuals that have two different alleles for a given gene
  6. 11. Austrian monk who founded the modern science of genetics
